A Day In The Life

A day In The life.

Tomorrow, I’ll have the perfect day.
I’ll wake and keep quiet.
I won’t find fault or moan, 
as soon as my eyes open.
I’ll make it to lunch,
Thinking before I speak.
Listening before I condemn
And weighing up and
be more controlled,
I’ll not get stressed by an outside
Source, lose my temper and 
Have to show my remorse.
By teatime I’ve holes in my tongue
It’s been bitten so often, 
It’s like a slug attacked lettuce.
At supper, I’ll watch TV
I’ll pass no comment
When through the plot I see.
At bedtime, I’ll close my eyes
Lay perfectly still 
And wait until you utter
Your first snore. I’ll 
Then reflect, what a boring day.
