It was, to the little girl, an ordinary day. Julie’s mother sent her out to the yard to play while she did the ironing. Being eight months pregnant with her third child, ironing took its toll and frequent trips to the bathroom left a hot iron in a dangerous position.

Julie was delighted, loved being free in the yard to play. Her imagination soared as she placed the various rocks and pebbles around on the table. She was serving tea to her imaginary friends.

What was not noticed by her was a threatening skull moving slowly sneaking up behind her, watching. She only let out one small scream but that was not heard by her mother.

Time’s up😲

Loud explosions being heard

Small ears cannot seem to comprehend

Fear seen in their parents’ faces

Shuffled along in lines

For water, food, no bedrooms to sleep in

War looms and makes living nightmares

For reasons they don’t understand.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t look up in time to see you there. This particular batter is thick and hard to stir, so I was putting my whole arm into it! I see the glob missed most of you but was determined to maculate your collar.” With that statement the bakery owner presented the customer with a coupon for free cookies for the entire week.

Pulling myself out of the bed

To pee again, something I dread

I’d rather be sleeping instead

Or I could just wet the bed.

Look in the mirror to check what needs shaving

Hoping fingers with razor will be behaving

I don’t want the blade to start engraving

Till blood starts running and raving.

Then there’s dressing, always a treat

Groaning to put socks and shoes on my feet

Stretching on layers smoothed to look neat

Pulling on and tucking in trousers a feat.

Finally finished, its time for a drink

Or breakfast, that’s what most people think

I prefer coffee—makes my eyes start to blink

Then into my recliner I sink.

Morning routines seem to be the way

Doing it over and over each day

Keeps unforeseen accidents at bay

When hair turns relentlessly gray.

Old age comes to us all they say:

“if you’re lucky” or “better than the alternative” way.

Those words spoken cause some dismay

Cause it’s always the young speaking that bray.

Another attempt failed, what did you expect? I’m a schlimazel! They call it a sprint, but who can sprint at my age? And mount a hurdle? Don’t be a mashugana! Now I can flounder in a warm jacuzzi for a bit if it’s not too hot, but become a geriatric athlete? Oy vey! I’m too old to adjust. Meanwhile how bout I fix you a nice bowl of soup?

It was a scarce time when we would be in homes like Mary Brown’s and not have our spirit rise by the lilt of her voice. Mary would pray and sing to free us from the sounds of unrelenting explosions, and sights of leftover rubble where wicked powers caused chaos in our lives.
