MONDAY AFTER
so they took their mamas to lunch
well lets face it, some took her to brunch
the restaurants, pregnant with mamas
irony of the other way round
so she ate, all these mamas eating...
for centuries, she has done the feeding
irony of the other way round
they smile and fuss and choose
right sides, right condiments, got it right
irony of the other way round
she wakes to the alarm clock ringing
that’s when she returns to the spin cycles
of washer and dryer and dirty socks
ever heard of the Monday after?

DeleteMuch love..
There is the saying "The morning after the night before" when you rue how much you had too much to drink. However here the sadness comes through as life's cycle stares you in the face.
ReplyDeleteThis one I wrote in sympathy for those women who are taken for granted
DeleteThanks for your appreciation Robin
Much love...
__And so many women are taken for granted. So much is commonly expected, that accomplishments are considered as being so >normal< that they are over looked. I catch myself, and renew my appreciation accordingly.
