Day before Epcot



It was the day  before Epcot and all through the house
My daughter was sleeping and so was my spouse
I sat down on the couch- just to stare
Bathroom or water - I wouldn’t dare
I sucked down my coffee
With visions of mice
Looking at my mouse ears
Would have to suffice
I wanted to go right now - today!
But I knew I would need one more night to hit the hay
With Jay as the driver and Ashley in the back
It wouldn’t be long before we would have to pack
We panicked at the disco
Or we listened to some tunes
She told us tales of civics
And the drama of Rappuhn
As we drove on to Disney
With sleep still in our eyes
We talked of rides and burgers
And beautifully lit skies
With  Ashley still in bed
Perhaps in a dream with a mouse
We’re still stuck here
In this darn house
