October 19 Wake Up Rap

Khalid Mukhtar · October 19, 2019 ·

You smiling there.
That’s good.
Deciding where 
We should
Begin our day.
We could
Be honest with our feelings and just lay it all down:

There’s a City match in 30  minutes
Wonder if their hearts are in it
Oh well, someone’s gotta win it
(What else, let me think)

Mom ain’t home that’s sad
Sisters too, we’re glad
Guess we’re lucky to be with 
Our (ahem) perfect Dad

Tell me why it’s such a something when my Dad’s at home
Every word I say gets rearranged into a poem

Wait, I’m dealing with this bagel dancing with my teeth
Tajir Yusuf makes ‘em proper
(Sorry, got to eat)

Can we go now?
