Post-Holiday Poetry

The Conundrum

When the tree's on the curb,
And the lights packed away,
When the house is all quiet,
And the kids at school for the day,
What do you do?
How do you play?
When the holidays finish?
What do you say?

Do you take a nap?
Give the house a good clean?
Go to the store,
To buy grocery's and things?
Do you detox from the sugar,
Or relax with a cocoa,
Enjoy a moment to yourself,
with out all the loco?

What about goals, resolutions and such?
Are you diving right in,
Or don't care that much?
Are you list-makers listings
Your to-dos with gust-o
Or taking a well-earned break,
and Netflixing a show?

Manicures? Pedicures? Paying the bills?
Getting a workout, climbing some hills?
Baking some cookies, writing a poem?
Thank-you cards? Laundry?
Making calls on your phone?

Seriously, when holidays are over, babies down for a nap,
When big kids are in school,
And quiet feels like a trap,
How do you choose,
What do you find?

....Wait, nap time's over?
Well shoot.
Nevermind.

Also: Thank you, teachers! I love you. You, personally, I love. And I think you're amazing.

God bless!
