Teach and study, cook and clean
Write a poem in between
All the chores and daily life
Perfect Mom, half decent wife
Work and work and dream and dream
Scrub the tub in shower stream
Want to travel here and there
But I’m stuck and full of care
Write and write, and feel the sting
Hope tomorrow joy will bring
Gulp down well my happy pill
Looking for that awesome thrill
Hit my head against the wall
Scream in pain, then take a fall
Try to keep life going right
Need a stick of dynamite
Mundane, weary, chore filled day
Want my hips to dance and sway
Feel like I will suffocate
Every grade will get in late
Cook and cook and scream and scream
In the soup, dollop of cream
Morning light, I check my phone
Off to work, I give a groan
Frazzled, frazzled, what’s the deal?
Dazzled’s how I want to feel
Thought I looked so sexy sweet
but he wants an OVEN treat
Write a verse to keep me sane
Post a poem, deaden pain
Live a life of make believe
Passion fashion in my weave
So I read another write
P Soup’s, Yum Yum, a delight
Frumpy, Grumpy Passion Queen
Just don’t check behind the screen!!!
