This mrning as I dragged
myself out of the deep sleep
wondering if I'd heard my alarm bleep
No it was hunger that woke me
My little tummy saying "feed me"
So down the stairs I went
My aging bones feeling somewhat bent
I managed it
and slumped to the fridge.
And I stared.
And thought.
I saw fresh white bread.
The brain said no
Dont go
I saw the raspberry jam
The brain moaned
and I groaned
I saw a lovely fresh peach
and the brain leapt with joy
and said yes, yes, yes
My girl you can have it.
and I did.
And I skipped to the table
because I was able
Juice everywhere
but what do I care
Yes actually I do
I am fitter
The toast and jam is bitter.
I have turned a new leaf
good grief!
