Read Book Dropping-

I am in my recliner grasp book in hand-
I live to read my eyes jauntily bound blinks opens shuts.
My thought are on verse.
But what comes first.
A yawn from my inners to my throat.
Witnessing now attempts to yawn, sleep in chair look,  I drop my book...

I get so irritated when my body lets me down, and I wake up startled with a TV show playing, and an I-pad on my lap. I have dropped it on the floor too. This reminds me of that.

Hello James Edward Lee Sr. you should read in bed that way when you fall asleep the book does not have far to fall. Have a blessed day my dear friend.
