Predictable

The older I am The older I get Finding myself doing the same Thing, again and again Nothing in life Ever much changes I'm so predictable But then you knew I would say this It all has to do With my attitude But then again This tidbit you knew I wake in the mornings Shower and shave The very same way I do every day I put on my trousers One leg at a time First with the left Then with the right Same with my shoes I follow suit First with the left Well, you know what I do A bowl of Cheerios Every morning for breakfast I've done this before So you know that I've got this After all that I let out the cat Where he starts the first of many Afternoon naps Down on the corner By 8:05 And just like I am The bus is always on time I'm predictable In all I do and say Just looking at me Gives that away I get to the office Sit down at my desk And just like the cat All day I nap Back at the corner By 5:05 Here comes the bus Still right on time Make it back home Let the cat in Sit down to dinner Me and my feline friend Predictable In all that I do My trouser routine Works for my jammies too Exactly at 9 I'm tucked into bed So I'm fresh in the morning To do it all over again I'd tell you different But won't play you the fool Cause we all know that I am Predictable

Nothing wrong with being routine, Mike. Try oversleeping just one day and see how that feels. Lol Love the poem!
