Motherhood and Employee Britches
Like a parvenu with new found riches,
I had to adjust to the new thrust of
wearing both motherhood and work britches.
But unlike riches with pleasure twitches,
my changes gained me pressure stiches!
I became a day and night thriving,
gotta getter-doner energizer
conquering to-do lists into gone bits.
As an every week day employee
pay postured towards green garnered,
I was more of a getter-byer than
a future green funds accumulator.
My bonhomie nature turned crotchety
which was mendacious to my nature
with its most foreign, bitter flavor.
Nightly, I morphed into a dinner cooker
still dressed in day time pantyhose stress
who dreamed of a pajama clad frame
before becoming a kitchen cleaner,
homework tutor, tub time scrubber and
a loving night-night time story reader.
I found no daily event was sweeter
than my child’s beddy-bye kiss keepers
and prayed my child’s precious styled love
could repeal the tick-tock theft of my weal.
When I exhausted all to be accomplished,
I would change into a television collapser
who needed at least one free hour to happen
lest I track down an assassinator
to track down the tergiversators
who decided females could both mother
and successfully nail the career sphere
without stress skyrocketing to severe.
