Take a number and wait until you're called.
Of a sort...

I stumble to the kitchen
Weary, bone-tired and worn
And as the daylight rises
I stare at the crack of dawn

Weary, bone-tired and worn
I wonder how I will last the day
I stare at the crack of dawn
Wishing the sun was fading away

I wonder how I will last the day
While I wait for my morning brew
Wishing the sun was fading away
I could be back in bed with you

While I wait for my morning brew
I can hardly contain my scorn
I could be back in bed with you
Not weary, bone-tired and worn

So does this mean you get up and make the coffee in the mornin?

Ya know, they make coffee makers with timers, so you can snuggle a little bit longer and when you both get up, coffee is ready!

Good stuff, Maynard!




I agree! And hey! I knew a chick named Dawn once too!

Tova,

does this mean you get up and make the coffee


Yes, I do. But only for me. Toni prefers a nice cup of English Breakfast tea. As for brewed coffee, well I'm gonna have to get me one of those.

Whip,

Good stuff


Thanks. I thought it was alright. Incidentally, I still haven't taken the plunge with Poetry.com. To be honest, I have balked not because I'm concerned I won't be liked but rather because I don't want to become part of yet another online community at the moment. I already feel like I'm spreading myself thin. I'm going to kill off a few different profiles soon and when I do, I am joining Poetry.

Roy,

Thanks to you too, mate. And it has to be asked; did you get up the crack of Dawn? ::

Good stuff, Mark. Pantoums are so cool.

did you get up the crack of Dawn?

My brother dated a girl named Dawn and he bought a t-shirt which said,"I'm so horny even the crack of dawn looks good". He liked that shirt. Dawn's parents didn't.

Buddah,

Thanks again, mate. You (and a few others here) continue to provide me with the right encouragement.

uDigIt,

Good stuff


Thanks, mate. Pantoums are cool but really hard to write.

Good to see you.
