PRE-COFFEE PONDERINGS

I believe the newscaster
Is making stuff up
I recall in the “70’s 
Harvard Square
Intellectuals hanging
THE WORLD WILL END
ON OCT 17th
Signs that neglected
To give the year
Does anybody
REALLY KNOW
What time it is
Dogs are not
Furry children
They do, however,
Have better health care
What if a stalker
Shows up at a séance
Dogs will look sad
After chewing up the couch
Cats have no conscience
I have a shirt that reads
IF I LOOK LOST
JUST TURN ME AROUND

Coffee’s ready
Have a ______ day

Love the title. This sums me up to a 'T'. Must be an age thing. But...thank God for coffee!
