Mood Swing
when I hear
her yell
I know it’s
that time again
when she says jump
I jump
like hell
and pray
on the way down
it’s her once a month
mood swing
once a month
I sleep on the couch
I dare not move
I’m quiet as a mouse
how could my baby
change over night
when I wake up
good God
what a fright
she grew
claws and jaws
overnight
Her mood swing is over
there’s peace at last
no more yelling
but it won’t last
I’m digging in
for next month’s
attack
