Abecedarian Day

Awakening to a sun drenched window,

Bolt upright from trundle bed,

Child grabs stuffed bear and a pillow,

Dashing to the couch instead.

_____

Eager to sing songs with Dora,

Fan of Franklin, Barney too.

Galloping to breakfast table,

Howling winds, a storm’s a brew.

_____

Ideal day to stay in jammies,

Jumping, spinning ‘cross the floor.

Keeping little brother from

Lego town, and so much more.

_____

Making favored sugar cookies,

Nuts “no way,” but sprinkles “yes.”

Ordering a cheesy pizza,

Pudding pops a slimy mess.

_____

Quest of courage ‘round the kitchen,

Raising swords to vanquish foes.

Superman cape, a flannel sheet,

Tripping, ‘cause it snags on toes.

_____

Up on top of metal bunk bed,

Vic’try flight into the air.

Wings not working, crash assured,

X-ray at the Urgent Care.

_____

Yellow sucker calms the patient,

Yowling sobs to quiet cries.

Zipping home, the day is over,

Zany encore, next sunrise.
