Bad Morning,Good Morning

I got up late
and felt so tired;
I rued the day
that I'd been hired.

But all was well:
"Day off," I said,
and laughing loud,
returned to bed...

Hi Jack, Nice! "I got up late and felt so tired; I rued the day that I'd been hired"--I'm hailing that as an instant classic. Congrats on your well-earned win. Cheers, Brian
