Take A Bath

C’mere, Frustration.

Yes, I see your doll, Difficult.

She looks adorable in that red dress.

Well, I’m filling the tub,

that’s what I’m doing.

I’m going to take a bath.

Run along and put Difficult in her tiny crib; 

Daddy will read you bedtime stories.

Go on, now—oh, 

but wait!

Tell your brother, Struggle:

“Mommy says to put away Effort.”

Now, run along.

N’night.

See you in the morning.

The candle?

It helps me focus.

The music?

It soothes my thoughts.

The bubbles?

They bring me delight.

Sweet dreams.
