Snow day: A True Poem

When I was a teacher, I oft wished for snow.

Do we have school? I thought. I don’t want to go!

But now I’m a mom when the weather gets sticky,

Keeping the kids entertained can get a bit tricky.

While some moms were baking and others turned to wine,

I still sorta wondered what I’d do with mine.

Well, we started with Dora and I breastfed the baby,

That took ‘bout an hour or so, I guess, maybe.

Now, what will we do with the rest of our day?

Should I find Candyland and teach Chlo’ to play?

She seemed to enjoy it, her skills not too shoddy

Maybe I’ll try to teach her the potty.

Is it naptime already? I think it might be.

I need a break, oh wait, I’ll feed the baby.

I watched some shows we tivoed from tv,

I was covered in a blanket and sipped on some tea

All so our electric bill won’t start with a three.

Now naptime is over and it’s time to eat dinner,

We don’t have much food; oh well, we’ll be thinner.

We skyped with my parents and that took some time,

I then ate some jello; it’s strawberry AND lime.

If this poem is boring, well, so was our day

I really hope it won’t keep you away.
