Disconnected Day

This might be melancholy
But probably that’s not it
I’m just running a bit too slowly
Decidedly low on wit

The house a little too quite
Even the dogs are treading soft
Nothing simmering in the kitchen
No enchanting smells from there waft

I’ve cleaned everything that I care to
Admittedly it wasn’t that much
Just barely enough to be noticed
Though clean enough to the touch

Sometimes a day of disconnect
Ain’t such a dog gone shame
If I wake tomorrow unrested
I’ve only myself to blame
