The alarm goes off and I hit the floor
It's times like this I wish for more,
But the world wont wait for a guy like me
Besides it's to the bathroom so I can _____,
See the morning sunshine that welcomes the day
Most every morning it happens that way,
I can dilly and dally since I am retired
Had I done it before I'd have been fired,
It's nice to wake up and feel there's some drive
It's comforting to know that I have survived,
I'll now have my coffee - I take it black
Can't watch the news - the TV's outa whack,
I'll reread the paper to see what I've missed
Surely there are ads for something I've wished,
I wonder what I will do today
These decisions blow my mind away,
No worry- can't do it - so says my brain
Thank goodness, Oh Lordy, it's beginning to rain,
I have good intentions,that can't be denied
I'll do it tomorrow and do it with pride,
But now I'm tired, and why am I this way
It's because I've been breathing all day.
