Waffle

There is reason to get up in the morning Raisin toast, breakfast tacos, and even bacon But I would make case that there is no reason to get up at all Why would anyone leave a perfectly comfy bed? Pillows all piled high and the duvet just so Swimming in a sea of textile of Egyptian cotton or silk. What fool would face the day when they can simply roll over? Slide a foot out the side and bury your head in a pillow Turn off the alarm clock (such a crude invention) and let time be. I dare you to try it! See if you don’t like it. I would bet my bottom dollar you’d be happier in bed, Than facing a day at the office or even a rainy day at best. So lie humbly in bed and contemplate what you would face If you got up and got dressed and went to breakfast Especially if you could have it all brought to you. Waffle House delivers…

A delightful read! Always love to read your verses! Hope all is going well. Today was a day I just wanted to stay in bed and sleep--but unfortunately there is just too much to do. Wish I could just dream it done! : ) Always, Laura

Move if you can Kilmer. Just open the door and step out. Today I'm going to Staples to buy paper clips (target gives me panic attacks). Tomorrow I will check out the ruled pads. I know what it is to awaken and think SHIT! I'm lucky to have AA where there are like souls. And of course the disgustingly happy ones who love to face a new day now that they are sober. Good God, what is that like? love you, Kathy
