Month End Madness

Panting, running, paying, fuming, Bumping, swearing, hurrying, driving, All because today is the thirty first Of the month, why are we all nigh to burst! Got to buy groceries, go the butcher The dry cleaners, the florist, the baker, Did i turn on the slow cooker? Have guests coming at 8.00p.m still On the road, home in 15 minutes – phone Will, Darling, Did you collect the birthday cake, There is a big accident, traffic hectic won’t make It to pick it up – Yes sweetheart I have Drive carefully the roads are crazy, Looks like a storm brewing, weather drizzly and hazy. As I arrive in our driveway it pours with rain, And I drop a packet, which had the red wine, I stain My clothes and the car seat, go have your shower, Hubby says, relax, everything is under control, Turned shower taps to their full strength and power Exhausted, let the water run over my naked body Till I feel refreshed, get dressed in my Sexy black number, And come downstairs, hubby gives me a wolf whistle, Just wait till the guests leave he says, look at him From under my lashes! The aroma wafting from the stove is Provocatively divine! And next to the sofa is a glass of room Temperature red wine. Table is set, arrange flowers I brought in a vase, Immediately, the bell goes ding dong, It’s Cherry and Tim, She couldn’t wait to show me her engagement ring, Hot on their heels are Susan and Barry, He has just asked Susan to him marry, And last of all my twin sister Rina, arrives she’s wise, With her new boyfriend in tow she bellows, Hi guys! Fun was had and wine was drunk Laughter abounded in the lounge and dining room, We all forgot how tired we were and It was end of the month, and all the media forecasted, Was doom and gloom! It was my birthday, turning forty, no turning back now, Don’t regret a day of my life, bless the day I took my vow, Happy birthday dear Mary, happy Birthday to you, I felt blest had my hubby and sister present and select Friends but few, Mellow and happy and with certainly no one drunk, Just four happy couples full of zest and funk! Our guests began departing, in twos they left, I slipped of my shoes and gave a big yawn, Will picked me up, and must have undressed Me – for all I remember is waking up to a peck On my cheek, And a scrumptious breakfast in bed, I always knew I had picked the right guy to wed!
