Ode to Morning

Photobucket



Morning, Morning - man, you stink,
you're here before I can even blink.

In the winter it's bitter and dark.
A happy time? What a Lark!

With Summer we get an early sunrise,
which means my snooze button has met it's demise.

Morning, Morning - You've been unfriended.
My favorite time is after you've ended.

Please, oh please, just let me be
take a vacation, I beg you! Geez!

Keep your light, your sparkle and dew
I'm not ready to start the day anew.

Morning, Morning, you really suck,
you make my children run amuck.

A moments peace I'm never afforded
my attempts at quiet are always thwarted.

Cheery people, happy faces
just need to stay in their own little spaces.

Morning, Morning - we're over and through.
Let the world know I've banished you.

Could this post be any more fitting for this face? I absolutely loved this, Heidi. Seriously the best post I have read in quite a while.

So tell me, is this what you look like in the morning too? I always imagined you to be a ball of sunshine and pure light.
