A mother’s task list never ends-
her families’ life upon it depends.
With countless lines
of things to do,
One question troubles me…
perhaps you.
What’s the point of folding sheets?
They’ll just get wrinkled when we sleep.
T-shirts- I’ll fold them all day long
while I sing a happy song.
But those silly, giant sheets
always claim a great defeat.
The banded corners try my patience
And really seem like such great nonsense.
Out of the closets they often come-
Living room forts are much more fun!
Than pressed and pleated cotton lines
consuming too much precious time.
Perhaps I’ll roll them in a ball-
Then stuff a closet in the hall.
And use those extra fleeting moments
Penning words so life makes sense.
“Maaahhhmmm- can we PLLLEEEEAAAASE make a fort?”
Here, boys, I’ll help.

Buen Viaje! ~Jen
