A Traveling Travesty
who rolled the dice...
how did i get my dad-in-law in the divorce…
as my husband’s checked out
due to the achoo dispensation box
now i’m dishing out errands
for “dear old pop”
who rags on me
for gargoyle tea
as he coughs up jokes
and pokes fun at my lot
i tap my darling’s shoulder
and he rolls over in bed
taking his own temperature
of one hundred and one degrees
i put a pillow over my head
so i can scream
a diffuser blows essential oil smoke
of lemon, eucalyptus and Italian seasonings
i spray lysol from room to room
but clutches of gloom overshadow me
