Snores

I woke up to my tummy’s snores
And stubbed my toe again against
The leftovers from day before.

I swore I’ll pack the soda cans,
The paper cups, the apple cores,
Before you ring the bell today.

I swore I’ll do. So sure I’ll do
As soon as tummy snores no more.

Remember how I swore I’ll roast
At least some corn for us today?
I’d stored a couple in the fridge.

They needn’t be for breakfast, no?
I swore I’ll get more in the morn.
Perhaps, I’ll get us even four.

As soon as tummy snores no more.
