Grandpa`s Baby Sittin`

I feel as if I have stolen this rare moment of peace

These obligations I have made are demanding

I occasionally need some sort of release

So,  I try to write poetry,  that is my satisfaction

I post my poetry online

And hope that the readers have a positive reaction

But before I can conjure up a tale to tell

And put the story to rhyme

I hear the bellow of the baby

I have to make up a bottle

It is again feeding time

Poetry and infant distractions. The perfect situation for the persevering poet.
A gentle poem with humour.
I enjoyed this and thank you
