Poetry Month Day #27: Quarantine Birthday

I'm sorry for the delay in writing. Enjoy!

When tomorrow comes
I expect dread
I will have the 'glums'
I won't leave my bed

It will rain
It will pour
I'll be stuck in vain
Furthermore

I doubt I'll have fun
I just can't imagine
Doing anything fun
My birthday, but I stay IN

 No party!
No friends!
No Thomas or Marty
Or Von Auren twins

The cake will be sour
The limes will be sweet
I will spend hours
Blanketed on the couch seat

What's that you said Mother?
Can it be true?
We'll all be together
So it WON'T be blue!

-Trevor :)

I am actually looking forward to my birthday, mind you ;)

Outside the garage door there is a sound An obscure type of music The whine of a hound Outside the garage door there is a smell The aroma of barbecue Brisket, I can tell Outside the garage door there is a taste The flavor of good times I run to, make haste Inside the garage door there is a voice I know I can follow if If that be my choice The whine of the hound The smell of sweet brisket The flavor of good times Draw me away from that voice But inside the garage door I sense sorrow An uncomfortable burden The woes of tomorrow Outside the garage door, I now return To the hound, and the friends They are hard to discern They have changed ever so slightly Outside the garage door there is a sound The hound running by Catching a bone in one bound Outside the garage door there is a smell A bland aroma Chicken, I can tell Outside the garage door there is a taste The flavor of sour company But I don't make haste But...
