Covid Miracle

They say “Let’s play Wii”
That’s their code for fight and flee
But tonight, they play

Mother’s Day 2020

Their file disappeared
But I heard as they wrote it
This mom’s perfect gift

Games vs Real Life

I’m watching my teen
A driving menace in games
Scared my car is next

Coordination Glitch

Our target leave time
Is the teen’s planned shower time
Flight delay saves us

Young Threats

“You’re my next victim”
Spouts my gentle 10-year-old
His game-night banter

Tradition Hiatus

A Star Wars detour
Stonewalled our New Year’s game night
But the ball still dropped

Walking the Walk

A new 4th-grade job
Prompted him to try coffee
He deemed it “too weak”

He listed his strengths
As math, tech support and lunch
Which he never eats

Lower School Science Fair

The school’s trifold maze
Commanded by mustached kids
Armed with facts and charts

Where lice and outsourcing meet
