Menu of Life

Here is a poem that I wrote last year. The title of it is Menu of Life. I love to write short blogs (obviously), short stories, poems, etc. I think this has got to be one of my favorite poems that I have written so far. I wrote it at about 1:00 in the morning one day and it took me about a half hour, if even that. Hope you like it! Let me know, please!

Menu of Life

On the menu of life today is our usual deal
We hope you will enjoy this well tossed meal

For our appetizer we suggest the alarm clock pound
As you roll over in bed and don’t make a sound

Next we have our side of clothes piled in a mess
Yet there is nothing to wear, so you’ll still be in distress

Our entrees consist of running late
But each red light insists that you wait

It’s the Monday special, so the day drags by
As you look at the clock, and take a big sigh

When the day is done, the special desert is daily traffic fright
And no feeling is greater than your house finally being in sight

As you walk through the door
Throw your shoes in your closet galore

Sit back, relax, lay down and say amen
Just be sure to come back again!

Ha! i like this one, it's true!

Very nice poem. Its simple, but that's the best part of it. For my college essay, I wrote about waking up in the morning and going through the routine while pondering about things. Its similar to your poem. Very enjoyable.
