Weekdays

Weekdays

That part of the day when
the moon and the sun
share the sky at the
same time.

It’s not dark, it’s not light,
Mom provided a full
stomach.

Dad yelled at me to
“get my butt in gear”!

I had to pick up and
deliver the papers
before school.

This was funny at the ending and well thought at the begining. I liked your first stanza, it just pictured a very beautiful image in my head.
