MORNING FRENZY
Wake up I said it's time for school
Getting a tardy isn't so cool
Just a few minutes more said my son
In just 5 more my sleep should be done
You know its morning time rush
So, jump up right now and first you must brush
Not just your teeth but also your hair
Don't give me that look as if who cares
I can't sleep anyway when you are hyperventilating
So here I am up to help you regain breathing
Could you help me pick what I should wear
At my choice he said.. no way! I would not dare
Though peeved I ignored his provoking comments
Clock was ticking away for fruitless arguments
What would you like for breakfast this morning
Do I have to eatoh that's so boring
You have no choice so eat you must
I'll make you some toast , you cant leave out the crust
I said toast, he said, no, can I have a waffle
I said we have orange juice, he said, no, can I have apple
If I say north, must you always say south
Just for once can't you zip up your mouth
Did you pack your books and your folder
Did you put in the calculator and calendar
Its not stroll time.. come on giddyup
Miss the bus and I'll get all worked up
Aren't you already worked up he mumbled
Yes I am, its past 8.30 I grumbled
Put on your shoes and not without socks
Mama! shoes without socks really rocks
Rocks and rolls and may be it does more
For now just put it on and step out that door
We waited in the stand just the two of us
Quite sure by now that he did miss the bus
Now to drop him to school my car I had to take
I drove as if it had no brakes
Finally we reached the school parking lot
Why are there no more cars, together we thought
He spoke in a tone, I call bridled yelling
Mom you hauled me to school on a Sunday morning !
I felt really sorry to drag him out of bed
Tell me , how do I make it up to you I said
I could see the smug smile on his face
To have won a point over me in this case
If I ask for something will you promise to give me
It's not your birthday, but if you are rational , I guarantee
My play station is old can u get me a ps3
What! 400 dollars for waking you up early
Do you think you are being reasonable here I ask
But it's the "Sunday morning sleep" you did'nt let me bask
I only have 50 guilty dollars honey
The rest we can deduct from your pocket money
That's not a fair deal , you spoilt my funday
Tomorrow will be another manic Monday
Emotional blackmail .. now please don't bother
You may be smart but I am still your MOTHER!
