Just A Day In My Life

I woke and faced the first kiss of morning
Prepared for a day of adventure and learning

Time to pick out paint for my new office décor
Neither hot pink nor amethyst will work, I’m sure

Tried to spice up lunch with a little this and that
The addition of habañero made it so hot I spat

Tea time came early, starting just after three
An assortment of cookies and chamomile tea

Happy hour arrived and it was much more my speed
A glass or two of red wine is really all that I need

Pandemics, murders, and ice caps filled the evening news
Stock prices were volatile as investors changed their views

As the day winds down I begin to reflect and ponder
Which part did I enjoy most, my mind did wonder

The golden hour of sunset is tops, no need to pretend
Then drifting off to dreamland is how my day will end
