A day in the life of everyone I live with



Matt is the first to wake in the house

where David is brushing his teeth,

across from Kara who is eating her breakfast,

while I take a shower

before mike has to go to work

as dad reads the news paper.



Dad goes to work when he’s done reading

only after he drops matt off at school.

Mike heads of to work

After dropping David off at school

While I head out for a run

Before Kara feeds the animals.



After Kara feeds the animals

Dad starts his shift

At the same time I get back

While Matt learns math

And David learns Spanish.

Mike gets to work only to find out



That it’s Monday. Mike starts work

at the beginning of Tuesday just like Kara.

As David plays in P.E.

Dad drives a truck around delivering boxes

While Matt studies English.

I must now clean the house



Because I promised

Just as mike did.

While matt was at school

Kara helped with the dishes

Before Dad would get home

For David’s birthday party.



David would unknowingly come home.

I would yell surprise,

Dad would hold the cake,

Mike would bring the presents,

Kara would throw the confetti

And Matt would celebrate.



Matt would hug David

Along with kara, and I

Would ask mike what was in the present from Dad.
