8:37 AM Monday

A bunny feasts on a clover patch The Keurig moans Almost as badly as me Breakfast Been eatin’ the same cereal Since 1952 (slow eater) The debate rages Should I put on pants Watch the news Let the friggin’ cat in I slurp the milk from the cereal bowl Been doin’ it since You know 1952 The banana is bruised Looks like it fell down the stairs Easy chew The Keurig is calling for water Cat’s meowing for food Firefighters just rescued a squirrel From a drainpipe Some guy in Pennsylvania Wants to buy my house “a quick cash deal’ Big decisions comin’ up Shave shower do laundry Watch Gunsmoke Where’s that remote

But keep the house. I enjoy this poem. Best wishes. Keep writing, I'll keep reading.

Love the randomness of it all, John. And yet there must be a method to it, a pattern, a hidden leitmotif --- anything to appeal to the desperate need I have to organize, categorize, yea, plagiarize everything on earth from the events of 8:37 am. to doomsday scenarios. ~ Desperate House-Husband

Don't sell your house in Boston. Put a little oommphh in your mornings by eating Cheerios instead of that box of cereal you've been eating since 1952. Rice Krispies or Corn Flakes? btw... any Post cereal is better than any Kellog's product... especially Raisin Bran. And one more thing... try strawberries with your cereal instead of bruised bananas that attract those annoying little flies.

I enjoyed reading your fun Monday write. Yes, sounds like another Monday morning to me. Tip: When they call wanting to buy your house, tell them you are renting/not the owner. Have A Blessed Day Writing Away...................
