queensthiefTwo Days
Tue- Tue- Tuesday, hello;
Two two two days to go.
The US Mail that brings me
The Thief’s return, no words can tell what glee it flings me.
Hurry, Tuesday, and then
Time can slow down again
Book’s on its way! Hip hip hooray!
If I don’t get it Tuesday then my world will turn gray.
Two two two days to go;
Tue- Tue- Tuesday, Hello!

One day
Date: 10/5/20 11:56 pm (UTC)And then my wait is done.
Unless
Like a teasing cat at play
With its little mousy prey
There’s delay.
Which would make me sulk and pout
Stomp and kick and scream and shout
There’s no doubt.
Blaming Amazon, I guess
Blaming also UPS
For the mess.
Vowing vengeance on the two;
Their harsh carelessness they’ll rue:
I might sue!
So they’d better pay me heed
Be on time, and let me read
Yes, indeed!
An addition to the poetry collection...
Date: 10/6/20 01:35 am (UTC)One day more
Another day seems like eternity
If the mail fails to arrive – calamity!
Three copies ordered – even Prime
To get my book will be sublime
One day more…
Must wait somehow
The book so near…
…When suddenly a voice I hear:
Stop whining!
Go to bed.
