Dream

I woke up to the same old ring tone
Oh no, it says its mom's birthday on my phone
this is the first year I forgot
on top of that there is a gift to be bought
out I go to buy something nice at her favorite the Macy's store
then I got groceries for breakfast and cake and much more
when I got into the house
in front of my own eyes I saw a mouse
I can't push it for later
time for me to be an exterminator
I should relax for a job well done
but there is no time i got to run
faster than ever I made the meal
but time is ticking could this be real
the gift was wrapped & everything was packed
I set up the cake it was beautiful
I couldn't believe it wasn't fake
but then I smelled something burned
I fixed the problem before but there was a lesson to be learned
then I heard both of my alarms
I was in my bed sleeping on my arms
I woke up and almost screamed
turns out it was all a dream
