PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

O, stay a small while

Please, darling, do sit

With me a little bit...

There is milk and honey

In the fridge and

A dozen scrumptious

Blueberry muffins

Getting gooey in the oven.

I'll also put a teapot on

Too, and we can just talk.

C'mon, what do you say?

I promise you wouldn't regret it.

Please?

No, I should be going

Now. I have too much

To tend to and my

Husband will be waiting.

He's rather impatient

You see. Though it sounds

And smells as tempting

And downright delightful

And I really appreciate

The gesture... So maybe

Another time, old timer,

And I'll bring a bottle of wine.

He slowly lowered

His ancient, aching bones

Onto the cozy sofa

By the fire and closed

His tired eyes after

Laying his favourite

Blanket patted on

His lap. Only moments

Later the oven rang.

He'd forgotten about that,

Got up with a grunt

And shut the thing off.
