The Bustle

Quickly wake up, shower and shimmy
You're late for work and kids for school!
Eventually arriving, settling into the routine
Suddenly you realise you forgot something at home!
All's a mess, again you overslept!
Traffic's just crazy, your hairs a disaster
Barely time to breathe, let alone eat!
Afternoon pickups, late for hockey practice
Its  homework and laundry, then off to bed
Awaiting the bustle that's sure to aggravate!

I love the simplicity of this little poem and the rhythm keeps up with the feel of the hustle and bustle of the busy everyday life

Dear Fathima, I for one am sure glad that there are MOTHER'S like you around, your life is a worthwhile Bustle now but your words are beautiful.
