My Mornings

My mornings are for writing.
That’s my time to ‘sing.’
Coffee cup in hand, ideas fill my head,
Take my place at keyboard…

Fully fresh and thinking,
Before sidetracking
Causes sudden sinking
Of inspiration’s call…

When that super great idea
Crashes, burns and all,
That call to work starts to fall—
Wait a min, gotta take this call.

(sigh!)

My mornings are for writing!
Fresh ideas, old or borrowed;
Now what the hell rhymes with orange?
My fav’rite chair’s in storange?

Roll up the sleeves and start to write.
One thought gives birth
To another thought and you thought
You’d never think another thought
As great as the last thought that you thought…
I think that’s what it was I thought.

My mornings!!

Oops, gotta get a coffee.
Forty minutes later, back at the keys.
Now what the hell was I on about?
Okay, kitty cat, I will let you out.

Just a sec, there goes the phone.
Hey buddy, don’t think I like your tone.
No I don’t want to buy a new garage door,
I don’t even have a garage, g’bye!

Hell! That was s’posed to rhyme,
But it wasn’t worth a dime;
And what’s a dime today, six cents?
God but I’m feelin’ awful dense.

Aw shucks! Rhyme scheme’s gone to hell
And now it’s hard for me to tell
What it was I started there to say
This morning. Now it’s noon. Do tell.

Blank page. Blank page. Still another blank page.
How long have I been stuck at this stage?
Must be time for another coffee refill. (Yeah.)
Oh how I love my mornings. My mornings! (Sigh!)

Time for lunch, thanks a bunch,
Nothing done today.
Guess my Great Canadian Novel gotta wait.
Hope tomorrow ain’t just another state
Of…My Mornings!
(Sigh!)
