Everyone Is In a Panic Except Me
Everyone is in a panic.
Except me.
Everyone is frenzied.
Except me.
Everyone is crazed to the maximum degree.
Except me.
I am lying on my back in my yard in the sun.
Listening to the birds trill, they seemed stress too.
I hear little people yelling “where is mom? I can’t find her!”
I feel a bit of tension in my back.
Where is SHE? This is a shriek now.
I am starting to get a neck ache.
How much longer can I enjoy myself before they find me?
MOM! Good grief. The neighbors are starting to stare.
I smile and wave to them.
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW WMMMMM!
Louder now.
I am stressed.
