Tcb

A day you hadn’t planned on
When you get to stay at home
Is the perfect time for TCB
(Or jotting down a poem).

Go through closets, pay some bills,
Read a magazine;
Cook or bake or take the time
To actually clean.

Write an email, make a call,
Catch up on some shows;
Dive into the novel that
Your book club did propose.

Having time for TCB’s
A rare and special treat.
Take advantage but beware –
Between the chores, you eat!

Hah! I love your writing, the humor is unrelenting, and that puts a smile on my face. John Wulf directed me to you as I was reading his latest, and I can believe I'll be checking back here to see what you are up to often.
