you mumble and maunder
all through your afternoon
nap....
never quite still,
but not thrashing about...
and then you wake,
tired and grumpy
all sweat and stickyness
two hours of tired
and five years of sassiness
standing before me
with thunderclouds for
eyebrows....
you want!!!....
but what you get is
a big hug a quick dash
to the next door neighbors pool....
please god....when will this
heatwave end???

please god....when will this
heatwave end???
not much sleep....hot sticky
5 year old....we all needed
a quick dunking to cool down....
