The first sip of coffee
Followed by a cig
Hearing my granddaughters laugh
At jokes I've told their parents a million times
Watching the crows hover in the wind
Zeppelin in any form but especially loud
A good restful nap with rem dreams
Sleeping past noon
Staying up till four in the am
A good limerick
Books books and books with comfortable chairs
A drawing pad with colored pencils
You next to me at night
Your leg draped over mine
Mushrooms that make the carpet roll
Jameson's and good company
And gummies just in case
Lively conversation
Making the retail clerks laugh
Making anyone laugh
A soak in the tub
Sarcasm and New Yorkers
Southern hospitality
Midwest manners
Playing the drums
Having drums to play
Midnite snacks of popcorn and diet soda
Life in just its self
