In the middle of the day
Where I got the audacity
I cannot quite say
My cook tip-toed in
Concerned about the daal
That I had forgotten to order
Sleep had me in its thrall
What to make she fretted
Quite upset you see
Such top-notch decisions
Can only be taken by me
She approached my husband
Who was watching TV
Together they found the courage
To come and awaken me
..from this unseemly nap
Come out of nowhere
Leaving matters helter-skelter
A situation most unfair
The daal got ordered
(by husband after I gave a go-ahead)
the dinner menu was conveyed
before I got out of bed
Then I looked at my phone
And lo and behold!
There was a deluge of calls
I was ashamed and ready to fold!
These honourable creditors
Were beating down my door
I had promised them my time
And instead, I’d been a’snore!
I quickly called them back
Assuaging and contrite
(No naps were mentioned)
And all was soon al-right
I was back in fighting form
Willing to do my best
To atone for the past hour
For daring to - rest
