Daddy is working

can't sit still
shirt clean and pressed
two more hours till
my first Ale House shift

a full bladder fought
don't want to wet my shorts
no thanks, I'd rather not
no one likes the pants-pissing sort

in the mirror i look at my reflection
and move a strand from here to there
trying to find perfection
for my pomeade laden hair

it feels like the first day of elementary
got my lunch box complete with thermos
more school supplies than I can carry
and still feeling a little nervous

smother my toothbrush with crest
with a baking soda and flouride mix
now with my teeth looking their best
i'm ready to score some Ale House chicks

well I'm about to leave
my outfit is complete with shoe and sock
wait, where did I put my car key
alright, now I'm ready to rock.
