Paging Morpheus
The order calls for attention,
At ten, at two, at five,
And so frequently in between.
Good gracious sakes alive!
Bleary-eyed, I stumble out,
Though I can barely creep;
I'm just a brand new papa now,
In need of one night's sleep.

Poems
Every Day Is Flag Day
Side by side, line after line,
Numerous little flags of white —
Soaked in borax, washed and rinsed,
Unfurled in the dawn's early light.
Before I finish with furling them up,
Today's unfurling begins —
Perhaps the stork and doctor were wise,
In forgetting my order for twins.
