Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Sugar In My Shower Nozzle

~ Reveille ~

  Put a little sugar in my shower nozzle
    Pour hot coffee on my towel
  If I ever finally wake up
    Will I ever howl ... 

  With my socks completely inside out
     and my shirt half-buttoned wrong
  Comes crashing the percussion of
     the morning's first loud gong ... 

  that summons me to breakfast
     cold tuna, day-old cheese
  I wash it down with Listerine
     How can I go wrong ...

  And now it's time for morning prayers
     which I mumble in Swahili
  Then back I go right up the stairs
     Another round of sleep ~ ideally

I feel your pain. Cold tuna and day old cheese? Sounds french to me. Maybe you're on to something. Merlot though please. Listerine.... yikes! Sweet dreams Sir Gershon. Snore away

Heidi Sands May 11, 2023 at 1:44 PM Sounds like me, trying to focus today. Great title, yes! Funny. Another round of sleep for now :) Gershon Wolf May 11, 2023 at 6:50 PM Sleep consumes me these days -- except when I have insomnia. ~ Oddly Coupled

Terry Flood May 11, 2023 at 11:46 AM Absolutely bonkers… for which reason, I love it. Have to say I’d have no problem with the cold tuna and cheese but you can keep the Listerine… yuk! Gershon Wolf May 11, 2023 at 6:44 PM No Listerine?! OK. Wash it down with a little Aqua-Velva then. lol. Thanks, Terry.

R J. Elless May 11, 2023 at 4:13 AM I'll pass on that breakfast. I'm going back to sleep.Ha! Have a great day. Gershon Wolf May 11, 2023 at 6:40 PM Aw, gosh. The cheese might turn moldy if you don't eat it soon. lol. ... You have a great day too, R.J!

Shirley Hawkins May 10, 2023 at 9:04 PM You're the cream in my coffee. Gershon Wolf May 11, 2023 at 6:39 PM Thank you m'lady. And you are the cherry on my ice cream sundae!

Kim Rodrigues May 10, 2023 at 8:29 PM Love the title. Caught my attention. I have an aeropress (like a french press) to make my coffee. The other day I threw away my coffee and then told my grandson there was no more waffles then wait…there’s three…lol…needless to say I was still partly asleep. I’m not usually like that. Kim Rodrigues May 12, 2023 at 8:23 AM Always making me laugh! I’m sure I’m just a liar that doesn’t want to admit that I do this more than I want to admit. Thanks, Gershon - proud nelly Gershon Wolf May 11, 2023 at 6:29 PM Ha, ha! Thanks for sharing... btw, I AM usually like that: Throw the fork in the garbage, put the paper plate in with the dishes in the sink, and place the eggs gently in the freezer. ~ Dizzy Dumbkopf
