All In a Day

I wake up and scurry. It’s hurry and hurry! First and foremost – take a pee! Cosmetics applying while minutes are flying. Check emails and put on the tea. Pack a lunch for the day that I’ll take on my way out the door as I go to my car. I must not leave late or I’ll agitate my boss, but my job’s a bit far. In class I am facing sweet students. Time’s racing. So much to accomplish by noon. Lunch time, I’m still going. I watch the clock, knowing of more things I need to do soon. Grades I’ll be doing with errands ensuing. I race to my car and head out. To the bank or the store; to the post office or some other place with no doubt. Have I time for the gym? Gotta keep myself trim. But my chores are all waiting for me. Some jobs get put off. You better not scoff. I attend to my poetry! The dinner needs cooking; at TV I’m looking while slicing and dicing, for I enjoy my tv shows. I’m NOT missing those - I can “listen” as through tasks I fly. My kitchen I clean well. Perhaps one more email? With my hubbie I’m all cozy when at last I am sleeping. Then daylight comes creeping. I wake and start over again! Sept. 8, 2020 for William Kekaula's All in a Day Poetry Contest 225 words by Wordcounter.net
