MORNING CHAOS

It was a lovely sunny day ,

When the sun shines make hay,

But I have loads of work to do ,

This joy I just cannot pursue.

Waking up  the kids for school in time ,

This has to be done as a job most prime.

Tiffins to be packed for office and school,

My mind just goes round like a whirlpool,

Tackling taste buds of one and all,

Who likes that and who doesn't like that

Is never an easy job to recall ,

I wish  I had this program  installed .

On a click I would the be able to pack all .

Hurrying the kids to get ready fast,

Oh my God !,unwillingly I have to lambast ,

They rush through breakfast leaving morsels behind,

It is the school bus time  , I have to remind .

Harnessed with heavy school bags on their back ,

At last I see them  running in time on the track.

Our morning tea has taken a back  seat ,

My hubby is waiting impatiently for this  treat,

Busy with the newspaper in his hand ,

He sips the hot tea , ignoring me .

While I drink my tea , I plan my day ahead ,

Housework and office timelines ,oh what a busy spread!

Attending to telephone calls is another matter,

I wonder how people get time in the morning for such chatter ,

The door bell rings oh so often ,

Running from the kitchen leads to exhaustion ,

Hubby keeps calling when he can't find his things,

I wish God  had given me some extra limbs.

My house helper has taken a break this morning 

I wish she had given me a prior warning ,

I  quicken my speed  in utter disbelief ,

Even  on finishing work ,I have no time to sigh in relief,

No time to get ready leisurely for work ,

Somehow I  manage a smart look  , 

No time to  give my look a better perk .

Speeding to reach office in time ,

Breaking through signals is a crime ,

At the stroke of nine I am there ,

My colleagues all give me a  caring stare,

Thank you God ,I say in  my heart ,

For being with me from the very start .
