I Have To Be a Grown Up Now

It is two forty four a.m.
I work in the morning.
Being up makes no sense.

I have been saying this for an hour.
Getting up tomorrow will be nigh onto impossible.
I have to be a grown up now.

I flip on the TV.
Surely there is a movie I could watch.
Silly me.

Shirley Hawkins November 2, 2021 at 6:33 PM Some people are grown up at birth.... Some, even though their aging bodies tell them otherwise stay eternally young... I think while you keep a sense of the ridiculous you will never grow up. Who wants to, not me.... Caren Krutsinger November 3, 2021 at 8:56 AM I love a "sense of the ridiculous"

L Milton Hankins November 2, 2021 at 12:01 PM Hmm...I have learned that the TV is a vast wasteland. I'd rather be reading or writing. Of course, if I start reading I will fall asleep. Sometimes I write a poem and I would have been better off asleep! LOL. BTW, no one says you HAVE TO BE a grown up now, do they??? In many ways I want to stay a little boy!
