Day-19 NAPOWRIMO-2021
Prompt: A rant
In my cozy dwelling
Life moves in circles
Two senior citizens
And two four legged beasts
Each one rotates in different directions
Making life a comedy of errors
Dealing with the woof-woof is easy
Feed them some threats, for lifelong,
They become your slaves
But, how to deal with the better half?
He gets my goatee and my blood pressure
Somersault on a roller coaster.
First thing first, the morning saga
He takes a shower and the bed
Displays the masterpiece! A wet towel!
Then comes the breakfast table
A charger, a cell phone, a laptop
And every wire one can set eye on
Strewn across the space,
Sheltered in-between the breakfast plates.
There is no end to my woes
Here comes the supreme lethargic accomplishments
The dreaded afternoons
Post lunch scenario-
The blinking television on full volume
And the display of various remotes
On the teapoy, hand in gloves
With toothpicks and nail cutters,
And a number of pens, papers and ashtrays!
All the cushions on the sofa
Moans as if hit by a hurricane
Angled in different postures
There is no mercy for those lifeless beauties
Imagine somebody dropping in at that moment
And finding a messy sitting room in corona times!
To save the occasion, I go around
With cleaners, disinfectants and sprayers
Keeping the gems away and to breathe in fresh air
I preen with a satisfactory smile
The room smells nice and looks spotless and shine.
But, all my efforts come to a full circle
As soon as the dinner is served
I am on guard to maintain the truce
Alas! the sloth in the house thinks otherwise!
He plops infront of the television
And goes on a repeat mode.
