A Perfect Day

I sink into the steaming bath and soak my cares away, A glass of wine to cure the pain the damp brought on today; No screaming son to demand my time, today is just for me, A book is all I need to be as content as I can be; I call the local pizza place as the water cools and bubbles fade, I order up a large for me and hope it’s not delayed; Soon the delivery man is on his way with a heavenly pizza pie; And I intend to enjoy every slice, just me, myself and I; The rain is coming down in torrents as I snuggle up on the couch; I slowly start feeling more like me, instead of Oscar the Grouch; I turn on my favorite movie, the one I’ve seen a thousand times; I enjoy every second as I relax, feeling sublime; My family will be home soon and their needs I’ll have to tend; The sun sinks lower in the sky, as my perfect day draws to an end.
