Things I Have Done Instead of Celebrating Chocolate-Egg Day

Swithered over classing stray cats as a horde or a troupe

Cooked mini vol-au-vents for my feminism book group

Lay on the couch after they left so my thoughts could regroup

Read that bit in Alice about the mock turtle soup

Binned three house plants after months of ignoring their droop

Wrote the first end-rhymed poem I've ever attempted, then remembered why I hate end-rhymes, then wondered to what other levels this month of frantic poems will make me 

Stoop.
