Laundry Day
My hair is too frizzy,
A red tangled mess.
My eyebrows aren’t arched,
Blonde makes it look less.
My pants don’t quite fit,
The muffin top pokes over.
I look down at the scale,
I nearly fall over.
My glasses are smudged
From my kid’s sticky fingers.
I try to clean up,
But the residue lingers.
My hair gets tied back
As my green eyes glow.
I lotion my cheeks
So my freckles show.
Yoga pants it is,
With my tank top and sweater.
An outfit that’s good
For any sort of weather!
I have myself to flatter,
So what does it matter?
It’s a vodka kind of day.
I’m only doing laundry anyway.
