I can slowly wash my hair
Lather, rinse, repeat
With nine minutes
I can boil an egg and enjoy
Toast or cream of wheat
With nine minutes
I can change a diaper, fix my hair,
Wake the kids and get them to their feet
With nine minutes
I can make myself a lunch
And lunches for the kids to eat
With nine minutes
I can check my email, zip off a note
Sip slowly, a caffeinated treat
With nine minutes
Scrape the frost off of my car
Drive slowly down the street
With nine minutes
Our mornings could be brilliant
Organized, efficient, sweet
With nine minutes
When the alarm goes off at seven
And jolts me to my feet
I press the oh so tempting snooze
And morning, once again, you have me beat!
Nine minutes.
Eighteen minutes.
Twenty-seven minutes
