Afternoon Naps
Is there any better sleep than an afternoon nap?
I think not, my Soup friendlies
Hands down, it's like I imagine what heaven is like
Not that I'm in any big hurry to make the trip
I really don't advise doing this if you haven't retired yet
Your boss could get a cranky old sod
Especially if you have your afternoon nap
In the middle of a very important client meeting
Perhaps then you might know what it's like to be retired
When I was much younger I envisioned retirement
As being “put out to pasture”
It ain't happened yet, I'm still full of “viss and pinegar”
As a hobby, I started searching some recipes online
And have made some tantalizing dishes
Which turned out pretty good for a rookie chef
Much to Cathie's delight I might add!
So my afternoon naps have been a lot less frequent recently
Along with writing poetry and cooking up a storm
I'm having to allot some special nap time
What a twist that's turned out to be!
