Poetic Asides Count Down

Countdown

Excited kids to open Christmas gifts
Drunken celebrants as Times Square Ball drops
Children marking off days till their birthdays
Round-bellied mom awaiting baby’s birth

Eager students before graduation,
Children excited for school to be out
Parents excited for school to be in
Folks ready for a summer vacation

Impatient children at a road trip’s end
Watchers at launch at Cape Canaveral
A procrastinator with a deadline
Demolition experts, fire in the hole

Hosts looking forward to house-guests coming
Hosts looking forward to house-guests leaving
