My So-Called Sweet Life

I wake up in the morning feeling
GOOD AND PLENTY of rest.
Yeah, there are MOUNDS of laundry,
but I'm not up to the test.

As much as I'd like to ROLOver
and pretend I'm still asleep,
I drag myself from my nice warm bed,
cause I hear a little PEEP.

I've been really getting SMARTIE
and I've figured out a plan,
I'm no DUM DUM, and when I tell you,
you will really understand.












A mom's life is EXTRA busy,
and there are WHOPPERS of lists to complete
(Good thing no one's keeping SKOR,
cause I'm not the one to beat).













I'm not going to be that AIRHEAD
working hard both NOW AND LATER,
So I've hired a RED HOT gourmet chef
to come to my house and cater.












And many moms might SNICKER at me,
cause they haven't yet figured out,
To pay some NERDS to come fix every
broken WHATCHAMACALLIT lying about.















And as far as common housework,
I'm no SLO-POKE in this field,
I've hired some maids--they're LIFESAVERS
Are you note-taking all I've revealed?

But when I went to leave for my shopping SPREE,

I sure was not the hero
Cause there's no such thing as PAY DAY,
and my bank account read ZERO.













So I released the chef, the geeks, the maids
and sent them on their way,
Guess I'm not the best multi-tasking mom,
at least not in this MILKY WAY.

But hey, I learned a good lesson,
had a CHUCKLE and then dropped my purse,
I may be a scatterbrained BUTTERFINGERS mom,

but I've got plenty of years to rehearse.
