Ten Hours Sleep

We all need at least ten hours sleep To wake up all bouncy with a cheep cheep cheep Ready for the day Ready to sashay Like a ballet dancer through the air I'll leap

It strikes me as funny, imagining you leaping into the air, like a ballet dancer, up on your tippy toes. Yet at the same time it wouldn't surprise me. I wish I was more of a morning person myself ... but the blankets won't let me leave!

My knee has been bothering me starting this week... Think I'll leave the leaping up to you. Should of watched where I was going so I wouldn't have tripped over Dragon's tail... But he was sooo sweet when he worried about me... Still taking him on walkies... And the daily running has slowed down a bit... But that's only because I'm not going out at 16 degrees to run... I might be old... But I'm not crazy... LOL

Was going to be funny but cant top our John...sleeping is easy make sure the curtains aren't drawn...dream of a day...with two ponds of clay...you then can create your own beautiful swan

You could get 12 hours sleep if you'd stop being so romantic in the moonlight shining through your window....NOW we know why you're tired.....and call yourself old...You got it and you flaunt it....and NOW it wears you out, you sexy man....
