Monday Morning Madness

Monday Morning Madness

Just because the morning starts
like the morning straight from hell,
and the little one is screaming
and you need a magic spell,
just because you burned the pancakes
and the bacon, well it’s crisp,
do not rant and rave and stutter
or you’ll acquire a nasty lisp!
If your husband’s little habits
drive you batty, do not fret,
but don’t fill his cup with poison;
well, perhaps at least not yet!
If the dog destroyed your curtains
and your mother-in-law is back,
and you hurt your precious pinky
when you tried to nail a tack,
do not turn suicidal
and do not give up, no way!
After all it’s just the morning!
You still have the whole damn day!

Wonderfully entertaining and extremely well-constructed. I'm delighted to find another writer on this site who rhymes and meters. (I especially liked the "at least not yet.")

Thank you Richard! I appreciate that. I am self-taught, so rhyming was my first attempt at poetry and I have been hooked on it from day one. Blessings to you.
