AN ORDINARY DAY

Six o’clock in the morning
Already it’s dark
I hear no songs
But a kettle yawning
Dogs all of a wag
Work is calling

Caffine induced I’m kissed on my way
Reluctant clock in
Smell the copper
Nine hours til the end of day
Four forty five
Smiles to the play

Home and the kettle screaming
One coffee one tea
Traffic beaten
She and I enjoy breathing
An evening prelude
Entertainment is anything

Eleven thirty and time to retire
Lights out
Love the duvet
Rampant sex all we desire
Night-night kiss
An ordinary day has expired
