(a disastrous morning Sonnet) I am the very model of a girl who’s late for morning meal, my charger failed, the printer jammed, the morning’s start has been surreal I lost a scrunchy and a shoe, I had to use some dry shampoo my Keurig had no k-cups too, so I’m feeling like a total shrew! Our pre-dawn jog went really well, but now the morning's gone to hell I couldn’t find clean underwear, I’m desperate to charge my cell, I got some soap in my left eye, I stubbed my toe and nearly cried While brushing teeth and hair in haste, I wonder why I even try. Anna’s got an attitude; she’s not someone who’s normally rude her hookup so ‘experimental’ has an irregular sleep-in schedule how’s she going to get to class if she’s babysitting sleeping-lass I guess I’m not the only one, who’s schedules simply come undone. I woke her with a gentle voice and soothed her out—we had no choice My morning happened to sideways go—but it fueled this grandiloquent tale of woe! . . A song for this: Something Stupid by Michael Bublé and Reese Witherspoon

This was so fun to read Anais. You had me smiling. Such an enjoyable piece. Life's morning surprises can be a challenge sometimes but in the end we resolve our issues and overcome, we have too that's who we are. A fav. Thanks for the smile...

Anais, Refreshing verse in the foibles of time. You truly appear to spend it well. However, It'll take more than a fresh charge, scrunchy, and shoe to replace Frank with Michael methinks. Though I did enjoy each refrain anyway. -Richard

Precisely write (right). This jaunty Sonnet "a modern girl’s delay" still a fav btw. Though you could elaborate a bit more on one line: //Anna’s got an attitude; she’s not someone who’s normally rude her hookup so ‘experimental’ has an irregular sleep-in schedule// So whimsical. :) -Richard

That's funny, I didn't get your reference, then I took 1 sip, my first sip of coffee and I got it—Sinatra with Buble! =]
