Boney Haiku

January 21st, 2007 by Atomictumor

Got a stiff shoulder
Singin the woke up sore blues
Stretch it out, brother

Build a tent, Daddy
Pigpen wants it in playroom
Its too messy, son

So he’s cleaning up
With the air of a martyr
While I make pancakes

White Stripes play Black Math
On the turntable right now
Don’t turn it up TOO loud.

Pigpen calls me in
OK, the room is clean, Dad
Looks just the same, man

Rainy day outside
Feel like sittin on the porch
But rain would find me

Like a summer rose
Needs a summer rain, says Jack
Time to flip pancakes.

Edit: Later on
Compromises have been made.
The playroom half clean

No tent is set up
Instead, Thomas is stationed
In the living room

MastaG, meanwhile
Is oblivious to all
but computer games

    One part inventor
    One more part adventurer
    On a rainy day

    I recall the times
    Folks built us a tent inside
    Cowboys, Indians

    Playing make-believe
    Sleeping under pretend stars
    Fantasy come true

    Creative playing
    Have to love a four year old
    Enjoy while you can

    Time to take a nap
    watch a movie later on
    eat some popcorn, too.

    Up at 1:30
    2:30, 3:30, too.
    Sleep, sleep, go to sleep.
