I got up this morning and told me it would be a wonderful day From experience I've learned not all days begin or end that way I won't think about that. I'll try to find where I left the sun's ray Ouch, I forgot to close the cupboard door, saw stars in reds and gray Decided to grind coffee beans for a fresh brew to calm nerves that fray Beans in push start ground coffee all over the room, forgot the tray I can't believe it could get way over there..coffee-bean spray Ok that mess cleaned up and the coffee perking keeping gloom at bay Guess I'll make bread. Get machine out, start filling pan, a snap you say Everything going great then my hand jerked and yeast did stray All over the table and floor another mess to clean and another delay Finally the machine baked the bread and I'm ready..nay I shake the pan to release the loaf. Come out I begin to pray It comes loose and I turn it up side down on the table to lay But only the center! the outside stuck in the pan and will stay This loaf will be eaten in hunks. I won't be baking another today Believe it or not I still have many hours left to replay Who knows what I can get myself into, time to be gay Oh, I stubbed my toe going up to bed, singing and walking..I pay Well, tomorrows another day. Guess I'm ready..come what may |

Well, bless my soul! Mother Earth is back! I have missed you and had been wondering how you have been doing! Enjoyed this slice of your life. Your poems are so homespun and earthy. ~ Sending you warm welcoming-back hugs, Earth Angel |
