Bedtime Musings

Tomorrow is another day
Miss Scarlet taught me that.

So on my pillow head will lay
in arch of back my cat.

My 'coutrements are washed and ironed
so I can hit snooze twice.

My cylinders are justly oiled
think I'll sleep well, that's nice.

Very cool poem, Nancy. Had a cat that thought my head was a pillow twice. It's great having the freedom to sleep in and just relax. Got a happy feeling from your poem! Love, Carolyn
