day 4. “fit for a king”/Our Lost Jungle

Etheree

In My Dreams

 

Pop

comes home
every day
from the office
gives mom a big kiss
and us kids a head pat
and asks “Is supper ready?”
“It’s on the table,” Momma says
Afterwards, daddy pats his belly
and says it was a meal fit for a king.

It’s a dream that I have, you’d think I’d learn

“Father Knows Best” is a TV show
and Momma is workin’ two jobs
just to keep us together
and she’s always worn out.
She tucks us in bed
kisses our head
turns off the
light. "Sweet
dreams."
