Peeked Over the Edge of Monday

Peeked over the edge of Monday Weary…eyes blinking, birds chirping Spoke to the Keurig: “black, no sugar” It growled back, slowly. It seemed to be saying: “Never go jogging with a 2 year old” How can someone with legs that short Be that quick….and curious… Every stone a mystery Every flower an invitation Every moment an inspiration. When he shouts: “PAPA!!” The kid inside me starts dancing. John G. Lawless ©5/8/2023
