Brush your teeth.

Eat your vegetables.

Stand up for your beliefs,

but don’t deny others theirs!

Use kind words,

or say nothing at all.

Mind your manners.

Don’t be afraid to take action.

Unless it involves waking mommy up before her alarm goes off!

The cat sits

perched comfortably.

Attention wanted.

Attention unwanted.

He watches all that surrounds him.

And when I vacate mine.

It is the perfect warm spot

to curl up in!

The urge doesn’t go away.

Sometimes it is stronger.

Other times barely there.

The withdrawal signs acute.

The hands can twitch uncontrollably.

Otherwise eyes flutter wildly.

Headaches and joint pains.

The desire is for it to end!

But when the fever and chills

strike again and again

The body lies there and cries.

I realize now my mistake.

Eager to not pass up opportunity

I left something undone!

To my regret, my intentions were true

but my actions did not reflect

what my aim was to do.

If only I could take vitamins to make up for this horrible deficiency!

Buy one, get one.

Is it free?

How much did I save?

Seriously?

That’s the price!

Heck, you are giving them away!

What a sale!

Glad to see us both smiling!

Away for a day.

He complains.

He wants attention.

You must love him.

His favorite toy to play with.

The worst…

He won’t eat unless someone else is with him!

Errands to run.

Plans get cancelled.

Ceremonies go smoother than expected.

Traffic is horrible.

Stomachs decide to churn.

Calls need to be made.

This mild fever is annoying.

What else could go wrong?

Right, the power could go out.

The same few refrains

replayed over and over.

Even if I listen to another

this one may

or may not

decide to stay.

Sometimes I get two competing ones

vying for my attention.

Silence, blessed silence

is oh so rare in my head!

Delicious candy.

Temptations galore.

The lure of the chocolate

vying with caramel and sugar.

Potato chips for the salty sensation.

All in my stomach

is its planned destination.

Sorry kid!
