Courric Jazz

Papa's deep, soft story
and mother's piano lullaby lull me.
But Pearl alarm clock and brother sax
are a stirring nuisance.

Sing on mama, sing!
and let sister flute tweet a
    sweet
         harmony.
Back papa's richness
so my dreams are intrigued.

As I push the snooze button,
and alarms melt to fleeting rain
soothing rain against my window.
