Saturday Morning Contentment

Saturday morning
Passes too quickly

Cartoons play for
Gigi on Netflix
Just like they did when
Aluminum foil was a
Reception fix

Teenager Tim borrows the car
For work at surfboard shop
Mom runs off for violin lessons
So Angelina can learn her chops

Dishes get done
From the night before
Grandbaby Hazel plays
With toys in the floor

The normality of the moment brings comfort

Intrusive work calls
Almost break the  mood but
I complain too much and
I am prone to brood

Trying hard to work to live
Not live to work
Don't want to be
A grumpy old man jerk

Could have lived different
And collected
Those pensions
But I would not change much
Despite the tensions

Don't know if the chapter I am in
Is long or short
But at the moment I am
Enjoying my spot

Cookies in the kitchen
Coffee in the pot
Wiggling my legs on the sofa
Like my Old Man did
Life is good
Even if it can be a tough gig!
