Where is his favorite shirt?

Up in the morning
Waking the kids with a smile
Where is his favorite shirt?

Cooking breakfast
Finding homework
On his face, is that dirt?

Jump in shower
Rushing to get ready
Oh My! Ripped my skirt

Race to school to drop off
On way to long day of work
Dodging each stupid flirt

Rush home to cook
PTA, practice and more
Still have to walk Burt

We sit down to eat
As I eye the laundry pile
Pants hit by ketchup squirt

Laughter erupts
Rough housing starts
Band-aids fix the hurt

Paying dishes
Washing bills
Trying not to be curt

Dodging bedtime
Mom's peace delayed
My feelings I don't blurt

Up in the morning
Waking the kids with a smile
Where is his favorite shirt?
