Imagination Woke Me Up

Imagination woke me up
Spun me on my head, tore off my covers
Gave me a grin.
I drew up my legs into a fetal position.
Not wanting this now.

Not in the playing mood, I glared.
I groused, but my bathroom needs kicked in.
I stomped all the way to the bathroom.
In an angry, mad way, 
To let her know I was furious.

Imagination laughed loudly.
Could not stop tittering at my expense.
Made fun of me, cajoled me with her silliness.
Threw pure happy all over my face.
I looked in the mirror and rolled my eyes.

Damn! I said when I saw my hazel eyes catch.
They began to smile.
I was no match for my muse Trixie
Who was imagination charged now, in full swing.
I gave her a pen and she began to write poetry on my walls.

How well I know those darned bathroom needs kicking in when all I want is sleep! Trixie knows the perfect time to pounce... at least she's covering your face with pure happy! A pleasure reading this fun write, Caren. Have a great day (and take a nap if you need to, hehe) ~ John

Thank you John. She does let me sleep occasionally, but at her whim, on her signals.
