He leaves for college
First, a stop at the state fair
Tomorrow, New York

Final summer phase
Squeezing in all the top foods
That college won’t have

Piles across the floor
One box packed and on its way
Soon, he will follow

We quiet our night
Straight from dinner to loungetime
Now I’m the cat’s couch

Trump’s lies are fiendish
No crime threat, no Putin deal
Epstein facts still wait

Night slept into day
And then the day failed to start
Maybe tomorrow

Dinner artistry
Faintly resembles our meals
A posh Friday gift

Before college calls
We pull together our crew
And run a glum play

One kid’s journey starts
Private school and college paid
Best gift we can give

They hid us for years
Then the new guy turned on lights
And spoke our language
