Robert Pettit Poet Couplet

What a Way To Start a Day

I realize now that I am having a dream.
Nothing appears as normal, it would seem.

I do not know if it is early or late.
I feel a strong urge to urinate.

I am looking for a toilet or urinal in my head.
As of this day, I have never wet my bed.

I think I am voiding, but I get no relief.
I feel inward pressure on my bladder.  Good grief!

I now have to get out of bed and go.
I lift the toilet seat and let my urine flow.

It is that time to start another day.
I wake up so many times this way.

I think I know what is the matter.
It must be my prostate gland pressing on my bladder.
