A little something to make you laugh ;)

Overslept - and now I'm late!

Annette

A morning coincidence, to school we laughed and skipped -  
A cloud that drifted through the sky, from my mind it slipped. 
For many years and then forever, I would forget 
That happy race...

An Art Bell Moment

I was listening to a late-night radio show from Art Bell
about how aliens from space abducted a woman from her sleep,
it was spooky, creepy and gave me the chills,
finally, I fell asleep and what seemed...

The alarm went off and I jumped out of bed,
I overslept, was running late, and slipped and bumped my head.

Hundreds of souls have been in his care
Millions of prayers he sent to Above

Kanya Kumari.

Strips of pale silken scarf
On the soft crimson light
Spreading from land to sea
After the blackness of night
Amid sighing moonstone of seeded saturn
A crow is crowing to break up the pattern.

Kanya Kumari high monarch’s maid
High colour...

Poor Me

There is a friend who made me poor,
Not because she stole my loot.
She took away my richest treasure
Because of what I did and said.

I knew this friend three years longer
Than the one I was yet...

abrupt adjournment

I stay stationary, collapsed, in a room unlike mine
I stay bare, as I wait for my thoughts to align
the bloodied hand continues it's repetitive round
soon the dust in this chamber will have me drowned

Wooly and cuddled a sweet polka dot
A  gift from my sister with so much of awe
A string round her neck embossed...

Someone Out There

I believe there's someone out there,
someone new for me to meet.
Someone out there, somehow, somewhere,
someone new for me to greet.
Someone special just for me,
someone to always treat me right.
Someone I'll know is meant to be,
someone...

Our Beach Vacation

Wait
This can't be a mistake

The morning light
Is just too bright

We've overslept
Curled up in bed

Now we must rush
Gone that soothing hush

Toilet flushing
Teeth fast brushing

Coffee churning
Toast now burning

Swallow fast
Needs to last

Stuff all over
Where's the roller

Switch off lights
Well...

Suffering In Silence

Suffering in silence I feel lost and insecure
thinking about all torment I’ve had to endure. 
I remember how easy life was in my youth, 
I thought days were hard; man wish I knew the truth,

Seeing your face in the morning makes me smile,

They repeat all the time in my...

Workplace Blues

There's not enough coffee for more than 2 per day.
There' not enough ink in my pen and it's only  8 a.m.

Memories tell lies, 
“Behind enemy lines” is getting caught in my mind.
But “two twos” overslept, 
Behind glossed over eyes the secrets are kept. 

So memories tell lies, 
That you already know. 
My youth kept inside...

Drop-Out Dream

I've done it again, I've overslept
I've failed to finish my homework
I've missed so many classes
that I can't recall which room
that I am supposed to go to 
and maybe I'm on the wrong floor
and oh god...

Christmas at 6AM

I walked like someone
who had just been forgiven,
but still didn’t know the way home.

It was because I overslept
in your room—
the hush of your breath
still stitched to my collar.

The rice fields were mist-drenched,
the sky blushing faintly,
as...

Deprived

Deprived (sleep)

The small green light
on the radio dial... 
glares at me in the dark. 
It is like a lazar light show going off. 
I threw it out the next day. 
I bought a new one,...

The Single Saddest Night

A teensy weensy lady beetle
A bitty, pint sized bug 
Seduced by the tune of an old man’s fiddle
Had went inside and gotten stuck

Her little, feeble, fragile limbs
Supported her spotted frame
Until she found a place to...

Where Is Grandma

We decided to be elegant
Have breakfast outside on the veranda
A gorgeous Florida day

Where is mom?
Our mother asked.
No one knew.

What is a toaster doing on the table?
Daddy asked.
No one knew.

Where is grandma? I asked.
Maybe she overslept,...

Life

Packing another day, time to say bye,
Neither happiness nor sadness, I think it's a tie.
Thoughts on my mind, what could I have done?
I can't revive; just regret the time it's gone.

Whenever the clock hits nine,
To...
