I'm Use To Confused

Bamboozles often and frequently slam my zoozle with 
gobsmack confusion attacks, so much so that I thought this 
unsated mental state was everyone’s slate of facts.  If we 
were to muse on bamboozles, as such, I would happily offer
some of my much:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I am the only female riding in a car,
all passengers hand me their trash – what the bizarre?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At home, I see everything everywhere
until I need it – then it’s hiding nowhere.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No matter how much I read in hair product aisles,
understanding what all does remains a trial.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When workday and maternal night duties come to an end,
a pet will do something to deny or delay my craved sofa blend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My family truly confuses my female parts for a locator. They 
ever seek me to seek their needs; not one could even find 
a whole pig in the refrigerator.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I once woke and then made my face up, now
I try to erase it with all sorts of funky stuff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When I’m focused on a TV show, everyone speaks,
comes a commercial and there’s not a single peep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seems it's always a Friday when I wake sick and puny,
a day my doctor usually doesn't have time to see me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My sock graveyard has a higher sock score
than any family member’s sock drawer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No one can tell navy blue clothes and hose from black,
why can’t we simply eliminate navy to solve that?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When my house is totally clean, no one visits my domestic scene.
When my home if filth awry, the whole world wants to come on by.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I fly, jump and cartwheel to answer my ringing phone
it will be one of many salespeople who won't leave me alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please, never direct me to go east, west, north or south!
I don’t wish to brake, exit the car and sun scout.
For me, left or right is best for arrival to work out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One morning I prayed for my child while driving to work –
I got a ticket for running a red light.  A prayer perk?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have I shared too little or spilled so much that my poem is reader abuse?  I have no answer for this issue, so I leave you to muse all my confused.

Congratulation on your awesome Gobsmacked and bamboozled and confused place win. I relate with the 2nd stanza, the 3rd was my husband, always upset that he couldn't find what he wanted in the refrigerator so I had to look for it. :) ,

Brilliant. A laugh a second, CayCay. If this is 'abuse,' keep the abuse coming. G.L. in the contest. Best wishes, Gershon

Soft giggle. :) It seems you have covered it all here, and brilliantly too. I think my muse got sidetracked, but that's okay- my mind will scramble all the pieces and make it all make sense again. Hmm, I think. Or maybe not. :) I love what you have created. A Masterpiece indeed. Well done CayCay. Keep smiling. I know I am. :) Brandy
