Franklin Price Poet Rhyme

Got Up This Fine Morning

Got Up This Fine Morning
By Franklin Price

Got up this fine morning
For me a little late
Shortly after seven
Long before the stroke of eight

Checked to see that all was working
Muscles, joints a little sore
Yesterday was spent Spring cleaning
Going back today for more

Even though it is September 
The nip of Fall is in the air
I'm  retired in no hurry
So Spring cleaning is still there

My wife has gently prompted
Through the Spring and Summer too
I said, “Sweetheart, I'll be right with you
Right now there's something else to do”

Write poems on my computer
Post on my Facebook page
See what everyone is doing
What's in fashion, what's the rage

Go rest in my recliner
Watch the TV mindlessly
Doesn't matter that it's re-runs
As long as there's no work for me

You know I'm only kidding
Love to do my honey-do s
For me there's not another life
I love walking in my shoes
