I have horses.<\/p>\n
I have dogs.<\/p>\n
I have turtles.<\/p>\n
I have fish.<\/p>\n
I have guinea pigs.<\/p>\n
I have children.<\/p>\n
And I have a husband too.<\/p>\n
Hay for the horses at 5:30<\/p>\n
Walk the dog at six.<\/p>\n
The turtles are kind and quiet.<\/p>\n
They don’t beg to be fed,<\/p>\n
So most weeks I sneak them an extra ration.<\/p>\n
Change the water. Clean the tank and don’t forget their delicious morsels.<\/p>\n
Fish are divas and dir if they aren’t treated with specific care.<\/p>\n
The guineas ate quite literally pigs and begin impressive dialog the minute they see you coming-<\/p>\n
They don’t want love or attention. They want food. And they want it now.<\/p>\n
The children won’t wake with the crows, but the minute they rise they won’t hesitate to let you know-<\/p>\n
They want want what everyone else has already been given.<\/p>\n
And the husband, well he just wants coffee in his hand.<\/p>\n
I never wanted a farm.<\/p>\n
And yet here I am with a menagerie of animals<\/p>\n
I’m not sure I ever really wanted.<\/p>\n
What am I to do?<\/p>\n
Can I move?<\/p>\n
