Poets Pub - 2019 Poet of the Year Contest

Repeat Another Day (crazyp01) Wk-4

Your Cerelac is ready

And so is your juice

You eat up

While I get your boots.

.

We'll wobble past

Your favorite corner shop

There you'll stop

And ask for a lollipop.

.

Once we're back

You can play with the papers

If that bores you

You can watch the neighbors.

.

I know you'll fuss and fume

And refuse to eat

Those steamed vegetables

Which hurt your nonexistent teeth.

.

You take your afternoon nap

As I'll get the chores done

Then off we'll go for a short jog

You'll meet your friends for some fun.

.

In the evening

Your knees will hurt

But you won't admit it

Instead, you'll ask for dessert.

.

We'll argue about what to watch

At my movie choice you will laugh

Your glasses will slip as you doze

Even before we've seen half.

.

When you were young

You watched over me

Now I am grown

By your side, I will be.

.

I'll hold your hand

As you gently snore

If you wake tomorrow

We'll do this once more.
