My day during distance learning

When the day starts at 5

and never-ending it looks

My life hanging intricately

On four beautiful hooks

My bony legs are taking a stroll

In every nook n cranny

My hands are holding in prayer

Wishing to call a nanny.

My eager eyes are wobbly

Want to capture every scene in every room

This house badly needs cleaning

Can someone hand me the broom?

My fiery fingers working fast

They chopping rolling frying

My “always hungry” belligerent boys

Are fighting whining and crying

My multi-chambered brain is in smithereens

I figured one is not enough

If I can borrow someone else’s

To handle the add-on stuff

My one and only torso

Is no less than Pisa leaning tower

Bending stooping to check their homework’s

By 2 o’clock I m out of power

Google meets and reminder alarms

Are music to my ears.

Filled my house, filled my soul

The music I loathe to hear.

It’s time for some recharging

My body and my soul

Tea is for my salvation

And napping is my midday goal

20 minutes later

New body and new me

I m ready to enter phase 2

My parts are thankful n glee

My day is like time

No start has no stop.

4 Hooks in my life are

My kids, my job, fiesta food

and my never-leaving-me mop.
