Morning

Jolt awake, heart pound

That alarm is such an awful sound

Take a moment to blink and yawn

Why does it feel like the crack of dawn?

Stretch and pop, sit upright

Why does the sun have to be so bright?

Must pee now, then wash the hands

Feels like mouth is filled with sand

Lean towards mirror, survey face

Someone skinny please take my place!

Gather towels, fresh new clothes

Use the soap that smells like rose

Rinse off, towel down

Now deodorant has to be found

Moisturize, rub it in

Tooth brushing can now begin

Quick get dressed, yank on socks

Give a dirty look to the clocks

Grab the purse, pull on shoes
Out the door, start the car to cruise

Pull out of the driveway, head onto the street

My morning’s done, the routine complete.
