Mother, I help?
The words came
Surrounded by boxes
Technology, cords, paper and more
I shook my head
I didn’t know where to start
Or even the words to help
A non-native speaker.
Over the week
I watch this boy
BOREDOM He needs work to do
So I think
Today hard work I do
I set it up
The boy, he’ll want to help!
Problem solved
The boy came
Mother I am home!
I bid him come
Some work to do.
And then the moment
of truth it came
the boy looked
and shook his head!
Just shoveling and moving
and lots of heavy work
No potential
“non-working” laptops to find.
I shook my head
and got to work
this lad he knows
Some work to shirk.
Miss Kate put up the word Moment and it brought to mind a look upon my exchange student’s face when I made a suggestion to him. Made me laugh once he went back inside. 🙂 Anyways, won’t you come join us? We’re a fun crew gathering weekly to share our thoughts, in five minutes, around a one-word prompt. What are YOUR thoughts this week?
