A Great Little Tip
Here's a little tip for a happier, healthier day
It depends precisely on the words you say
Ask about waking with "What time?"
Your answer's a number---at 6 o'clock's chime
If instead, you just ask 'When?"
You get up naturally, whenever sleep ends
Wonder a bit later, "What time is lunch?"
You'll likely feel compelled to munch a bunch
But if you couch 'hungry' in terms of "When"
You're unlikely to eat a meal for ten
And so it goes throughout the day
Take your focus off the clock; keep it far away...
I'd write more about this great little tip, but --
It's 2:00, time to hit the pool for my afternoon dip
