Thursday Morning
Check out my books www.amazon.com/author/richardratliff
Morning comes now
With no alarm no razors edge
Splash of warm water and a brush
Yesterday's slacks are clean
Instant coffee then
Inhalers, pills stool softener
Morning news email and Facebook
Breakfast from the drive through
Trash set out at the curb
It must be Thursday
Unless yesterday was a holiday
Have to ponder this
Must exercise on the treadmill
Twenty minutes slow walk
Some days more some less
Just keep moving is a goal
Guess I'll work on a poem
At least for a while
Till its time
To get my poppy seeds
From television for the afternoon
Evening news
It is Thursday
Better bring in the cans
Before harvesting the poppies
On tonight's cable
