Morning Joy

I wake up smiling, feeling bright, So glad to see the end of night. I long to catch the bus to work - A workaholic, never shirk. I shower, brush my teeth and shave, And wear my uniform – my fave. A sunny breakfast, full of cheer, My love of morning crystal clear. I kiss my wife and rush outside… Okay, it isn’t true, I lied… In reality, I'm a total zombie in the mornings!

Honesty is the best policy Jack, Ha! but you proved in your poem that it doesn't make elaboration for a good poem, as your imagination took the center stage. Bravo, you did tell the truth in the end tho. My contest was a bit difficult Jack, sorry you did not get one into the mix. I have enjoyed your poems in the past , however, Thanks for your continued support. Agape, Moses

I thought it was all too good to be true. Perhaps you are like a lot of us that need to have long sips of coffe to get going. That last line was a mind breaker!

Ah, I think you are being a tad harsh on yourself in the footnote, Jack. From everything I have seen and come to know about you, I'd expect you to be joyful in the morning! You probably tell jokes in your sleep too. Love you, Carolyn
