I never...

....know where to start,
when it comes down to the Hollie Day part;
there's so much that goes on those days,
sometimes it's just a big purple haze!

Yesterday was not so different, but it had a good start;
managed to walk two miles before we get to that part,
She was up and ready, roaring to go,
but, of course, things have to go just so.

Down to the Irving Station, time for a snack,
get this and that, you got the jack? (jack=money)
she likes the mocha-java machine,
drinks what comes out, there's no in between.

Over to Brewer, that WalMart place,
Hollie! Slow down, I can't keep up this pace!
Got to get a new magazine, some paper too,
wait just a minute, get gum to chew.

Take out the staples from the magazine,
find selected pages, do you know what I mean?
Fold them real careful, don't mess up that seam,
glue them just right, lined up? Look at that sheen.

We've managed to do all five things,
all of a sudden the cell phone rings;
Mom is calling to say hello, asks now, where are you;
Hollie does take time to talk, hello to you too.

Onward and upward with our worthy goal,
on over to Staples, everything's just so, ready to roll.
This is the first visit today,
she got five projects out of the way.

So then we're off, going to Target,
Dad, I want the CD, do you have to charge it?
No charging today, it's all strictly cash,
gee Dad, let's get that can of hash.

She got to CD, now do you know what?
Well, you just have to get the cover fixed up!
put it on paper, careful with the glue,
go heat that one up with plastic too!

Then we head on to Broadway,
Walgreens has something to offer today;
black nail polish for the Halloween jog ,
and a"Bo Pup", the Obamas new dog.

Then over to Union Street we did go,
they have a book at Paperback you know;
Presidential Pets, it's a sure thing,
laminate to cover, cough up some bling!

So, three visits to Staples, that great store,
not going back today, not any more;
it's time to deliver her, to her program,
playtime is over, Dad you scram!

And so it goes, repeated weekly,
there is no end, that I can see;
that part's okay, I understand,
all of that stuff is part of her plan.

Enjoy your day, I hope it goes well,
but don't forget to treat everyone well,
be kind to the critters, and people you meet,
sometimes this life is sure hard to beat!
