The day in haiku

Bit of a cheat today, I am overwhelmed with a crappy cold. Meh.

Breakfast and bedlam
The daily search for socks and
where is your school bag

Cold winter school run
Looking for escaped horses
Home to hot coffee

Constantly coughing
Sneezing snotty misery
Bed is so tempting

Another school run
Child’s mittened hand grasping mine
Excited chatter

Takeaway promised
If agreed conditions met
The kids disappear

A crash from upstairs
Indignant children argue
A bedroom battle

Peaceful pizza time
Showers, bodies in bedclothes
Almost time for bed
