Sunday Games

_____________________________________

Playing games on Sunday afternoon

No one will win anytime soon

Twelve more rounds of this game to play

Keeping our dots incognito

Until our turn at dominoes

Family chatter causing delay

No

Naps for

me before

meeting my dear

I believed them a bore

now it has been made crystal clear

 in day-sleeping there is nothing to fear

it’s good to pull up the blankets, fluff the pillow

quiet the room so there’s nothing to hear

if you are lucky dreams appear

now I find I want more

time to nap here

time to snore

restore

slow.
