Conservation of Energy
Candy wrapper on the carpet
Couch cushion out of place
Granules of sugar scattered around
Glass of liquid knocked over
Shoe and discarded sock in the middle of the floor
Toy, toy, crayon, marker
Paint brushes unwashed
Vegetable scraps stuck to the counter
Plate, fork, cup hiding in each room
Struggling to type
As she bounces into the room
Bubbling with chatter
Can you please give me my energy back?
