Story of my month (14)

Spreading on hotel bed after exhausting day
The meetings went badly, and my boss was a prick
Needing some home comfort, yet stuck in this lame stick
For any sense of me, the bubble bath might sway

I get in with the foam as high as my cute nose
To settle my spirit and refresh tired skin
Reversing tonight's mood with such a sudden spin
That there's new desire to get out to the shows

Getting out of the tub and wearing the bathrobe
All lush, warm and comfy, I feel a new fatigue
Spreading onto bed, yet hearing the intrigue

I fall asleep to sound, resonating in strobe
As this tired woman, wants better tomorrow
Going to my dreamland with the bubble bath glow
