Achievement

My boss asked me:

“Charlotte, what is it you hope

to achieve?”

Which reminded me of

a magazine I was reading 

as apparently I achieve

orgasms.

Oh well done you!

Never mind that I’m a wife, mum,

cook, cleaner, nurse, wage earner,

teacher, bank manager, PR consultant,

official bedtime story teller

supposedly with my own career.

Forget that:

well done for coming.

A fantastic achievement

award yourself an indulgent chocolate.
