Waking up in the morning
is less fun than it was before
I used to spring out of bed
but I don't do that any more.
I used to spring out of bed
and greet the day with a silly grin
now I peep from a jaundiced eye
and decide I will stay in.
Now I peep from a jaundiced eye
and stare at pictures on the wall
I think of a hundred reasons
why I shouldn't get up at all.
I think of a hundred reasons
then I think of a couple more
I stare at cracks in the ceiling
at peace in the deep heart's core!
