Perhaps I should be grateful
for the warning
“bringing the boss home for cocktails at 6”
when here, it is 4:30
the disarray
mounts me like a hungry irish setter
expectation of divine marriage to house and
hearth and angelic offspring slays my
inner sylph -
my humanness and
this vacuum cleaner from the antiquities
ravages the staircase
child #2 attempts to ignite his Mama Passion Fire
(so much more entertaining than the
beast of burden I become in the flash of
a phonecall, unexpected, received.)

Your cocktail of words were a delight to imbibe! :-)

Or possible=y, 'was' a delight! Unless I intended to drink more than one of your cocktails, of course. LOL
