Changing Times

As my alarm ring each morning

I jump out of my bed

Only to realise I am still sleepy eyed

 And still yawning

I shut the alarm

And sleep back again 

It's the new normal 

Everyday is a Sunday. 

I like this new normal

I have the privilege

To wake up late

And walk to the gate

I don't have to embark on a journey

Of sixty miles from one end the other.

I wake up late, to have a relaxed morning

With a cup of coffee, I open my lappie

I check my mail, play with my doggie

Then relax and relax

Water my plants, prepare a breakfast

Sit in my cozy, comfortable corner

Meetings are via Zoom or Cisco

I log in and snore off 

Or forage the refrigerator for delicacies

My doggie comes and licks my face

I get him his collar and leash

We take the lift and go for a feast

Me and my doggie in the lawn

Oh, I never knew life could be so fun

So, what if it's COVID time

We can still have our share of fun

Life was not so easy in the past

Morning seven I always had a blast

Cleaning, eating, rushing 

Oh, life was such a mess

And room was in clutter

No time for my doggie either

My back strained on the desk 

And pained on the seat

I returned home to empty fridge

And life was always on the ridge

My plants cried for attention

But I had no time for dedication

Sunday's were super-hectic

Cleaning, stocking and meeting

Life was a complete mess

It was so full of stress

I wanted some rest

But had no time for test

I like my Sunday's now, Yes!

Seven months on 

I am organized

Sensitive, caring

I have changed 

No longer the unkempt, shabby fellow

I have changed to be a hero!

I like my life now, it's the new normal

I love the work from home, 

I like everything from home.

I like the new normal

I love to be at home!!
