Poetry Prompt: In a Shoe

Me. I'm the old woman --

But it isn't so many children 

that worry me:

It's to-dos.


"...What to do!?"

-the online translations in a spreadsheet

-the email marketing via WYSIWYG template

-the image resizing, hi-res or low

-the one-pagers for product promo

-the 20-pagers for who knows what

-the kind responses to pestering coworkers

-the posters, just add one logo here

-the promos & giveaways for lazy, begging clients

-the MEETINGS that rot away all motivation but also

    create MORE to-dos...

To say nothing of the dishes and meals.


Oh, Old Woman.

I think modern mothers envy you in your shoe.



p.s. No mommy wars here! All work of All Mothers is hard work!
