Biding my time
Morning paper quickly browsed
a little cereal soon downed
to the park for two short jogs
one for each leash-tugging dog
a household chore or two at best
quick cuppa and a little rest
a brief tram ride on a few errands
tram home with little items
second park visit - check the mail box -
small debts to pay - a snack for lunch
a chapter or two of current books
a missed phone call - a yawn a snooze
a browse on the Web attention slight.
Eat out cheap Asian food tonight?
Turn in early? Another day done.
Ah but rays of the morning sun
made park turf and trees greenly shining
the dogs met lovely dogs and owners
tram-travellers had faces full of interest
books - deep as deep, lively the Internet
cafe friendly - company early and late
I didn't deserve or anticipate.
