Rising Early From My Bed, Close To Noon

A Tribute To Frank L. Stanton's - Lazy Chap Rising Early From My Bed, Close To Noon I lay about and often just wonder why others do not rest in the by and by Any lazy day finds me right in tune This lazy day sings this month of June Rising early from my bed, close to noon stagger into the kitchen none too soon Eat a full plate of eggs and fried bacon so true, I am a lazy man never fakin' Afternoon resting under my favorite tree I never bother work, work never bothers me About supper time I wander back inside if I am late to eat, wife will tan my hide The meal finished, I turn on big screen set easy day flowed so well but not done yet A few beers the wife faithfully brings me sets my sails and fills my soul with glee Late night news tells me its time for bed to lay me down and rest this weary head Another day will come about ever so soon I best be ready for that early rise at noon!

My friend Peter Duggan's poem inspired me to pay homage to my favorite poet before I pass on. Thank you Peter!
