A List for Today
by Sammy

Morning, hear ducks.
Scratch head, splash face.
Turn on NPR.
No more ducks sounds.
Ducks wander, find ducks,
Herd them back home.
Feed ducks.
Move clothes from dryer to sofa,
Move clothes from washer to dryer,
Add more clothes.
Boys hungry, feed boys.
Kim leaves, kiss good-bye.
Boys wander, peer out,
They seem safe, return to NPR.
Note: I am assuming boys are smarter than ducks.
Move clothes from dryer to sofa,
Move clothes from washer to dryer,
Add more clothes.
Dishes, how high is too high?
Time will tell.
Elias must practice violin.
Turn off NPR, find the boys.
Elias and Marcus need food before they can study,
Feed boys.
Move clothes from dryer to sofa,
Move clothes from washer to dryer,
Add more clothes.
Study with boys.
Boys play and wander.
Turn on NPR.
Ducks muck and wander.
Find ducks, pray for boys.
Move clothes from dryer to sofa,
Move clothes from washer to dryer,
Add more clothes.
Kim comes home, greet Kim,
Appear refreshed and organized.
Turn off NPR.
Slip away, find boys.
Boys hungry.
Whine boys, whine.
Feed boys and Kim.
Move clothes from dryer to sofa,
Move clothes from washer to dryer,
Add more clothes.
Boys stink.
Shower, and dry them.
Brush their teeth.
Move clothes from dryer to sofa,
Move clothes from washer to dryer,
Add more clothes.
Reading time.
Move clothes from sofa to my bed.
Read, and cuddle.
Smile, this is good.
Hug and medicate boys.
Tuck them in bed.
Ducks wander, find ducks, and put them away for the night.
Sit, sigh, shower, brush teeth, look through household paperwork.
Can't hold eyes open any longer.
See bed.
No, see clothes piled on bed.
Move clothes from bed to sofa.
Move cat from bed to floor.
Lie down, sleep.
