As a creature
Of habit I
Don’t like detours

I take pleasure
In the mundane
Routine of life

During my youth
I woke with
Eagerness for school

Did my chores
Ate my breakfast
Caught my bus

Went through the
Day with enthusiasm
Relished each class

The last bell
Sent me to
Work at A&W

My day ended
With the evening
Meal and homework

I listened to
My sister expound
On her crushes

Before I could
Close my eyes
And find slumber
