A Habit Is Forever

A sunbeam from the morning light squeaked through the window blind Landing on my sleeping eyes and nudging them real kind The thoughts of hot brewed coffee gently stirred me to get up Pushed me toward the kitchen to prepare that "precious" cup As aroma drifted noseward I showered and I shaved Scrambled eggs for breakfast Oh yes - that's what I craved I dressed up in my "working" suit shirt and tie so neat A big impression I would make on the people that I'd meet Drove to work so cheerfully even all the lights were green Flowers - smiling butterflies filled all the flora scene Parked the car as usual then walked to suite 202 Smiled at all my awestruck friends as each came into view The phone began a ringing The BOSS said - "Come my way" Then looked me squarely in the eye and said YOU RETIRED - YESTERDAY
