Reliability Illustrated

Wheaties in beer to start the day Off to work I stumble and sway Cocktail at noon to set the stage For the nap I need ‘due to age’ Double martini at 5:05 Reflexes take a nosedive Night cap at 11:10 p.m. Wake up tomorrow ~ do it all over again

Ha! I wonder how “Wheaties in beer” actually tastes, Gershon! Think I’ll stick to my bagel and coffee. I enjoyed your poem, though…

Like Sara said, "...self-imposed misery". I think this guy is much like the one who used to admire nature. ;) hugs :)

ah, the repetitive nature of self imposed misery resonates in your words. Well said and creative. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & words today, Sara
