Jump Start

Jump start		

Jump start your day.
Get yourself going.
So they tell us.

Jump start with coffee.
Drink two glasses of water.
Take your vitamins.

Jump start with exercise.
Take a shower.
Check the emails.

Heck, sometimes 
getting out of bed
is my jump start.

The starting I can do.
It's the jumping
that alludes me.

Hey Gay, I know how you feel ...I still remember battling the blanket when it was rise up time back in school. I like the feel of the poem! Kr, Nyonglema

Janet, Sounds familiar. I had a hard time staying up all night, though, because I'd fall asleep in class the next day. Did it once, just to see if I could, and then discontinued the practice.
