Jasmine tea
is not for me
I have coffee in the ***

I'm told that it's not good for me
well
neither is a cup of Jasmine tea
at twenty five past flamin' three
and in the morning for gawd's sake.

I used to sleep just like a baby
but that was when I was a baby
but I grew into something cranky
I think that something's old.

Disappointment again,
it's only Wednesday
oh, the pain,

a good day is
when you open your eyes,
and still get surprised
at the wonder of it all.
