Thank you Jo for these 5 prompt words: Exasperated, balloon, silk, forgotten, chime

I’d just bought a balloon from the vendor
And tied it round my wrist
When the chime of a bell told the time
And I remembered what I missed

Can’t believe I’d almost forgotten!
Exasperated, I hurried on home
Soon others would rush through the door
I had a short time to enjoy it alone

I sat in my cozy kitchenn
Savored silly cheese by myself
Then hid it away behind veggies
On the most neglected fridge shelf

I almost forgot, but I didn’t
I was alone for a much needed minute
