new dentures have poli-grip,
time to hit the hay…

The highlight of their day
   is when they hit the hay

   Used to be a roll in there 
     ~ Life's not always fair...

I strive to write one poem a day
To keep my wheels turning and gay
   Out if time
Must find rhyme
   Before I have to hit the hay...

Sunday evenings, not much to do
  Pack a bag lunch, dust off your shoes

Hit the hay early, dread the alarm
  As if Monday's the source ~ of all worldly harm...

My cat Jeff snuggles when I hit the hay

   He's strong-minded and always has his way

      He snores as I try to doze

         His whiskers tickle my nose

            I'm sleepless while he snoozes night and day

As the horse's hooves struck the earth with such force
Kim and the animal went around and around the course

With wind blowing through both their hair
They looked just like a perfect pair

The girl and the horse shared the greatest love
It sure was something to be proud of

But at the end of their busy day
It was time for both of them to hit the hay...

Awaken your eyes
Every day anew
The song of a bird
Life within renew

The morning dew
Upon a leaf
The morning sun
A thief

Steal away the night
And wake up the day
Crawl out of bed
After you had hit the hay

Get ready for school
Take a shower
There is nobody out
At such an hour

Throw on new clothes
Five in the morning
Somebody wants to find
My heart, Adorning...

Mama
The one who wipes your nose and rinses you off with a hose.
She picks you up and you drop your cup.
You make a mess and she ruined her new dress.
Your toys are left out but she never pouts.
The crying never stops until you suddenly saw rain drops.
Dad comes home to save the day and mom wants to hit the hay.
Your first word was candy because you couldn’t say Andy.
Nothing beats mamas love yet she’s as calm as a dove....

For fifty years I went to work
    Minimum wage; was I a jerk
  I'd slave away every day
    Bus ride home, eat, hit the hay

  Now a new life has opened up for me 
    Doing something I can hardly believe
  Waking up, I go outside; gaze at the grass, sky and trees
    Thus fortified, I head back in and write poetry

  It'll never pay the bills, but there are no bills to pay
    Only one complaint ~ I keep on hitting the hay...

Just who can bear an empty heart devoid of any hope.
Of finding love to help you live and essentiallly just cope.
It has been said, we go to bed, per chance a dream or two.
For promises of love are there awaiting me and you.
But if you wake up all alone to face another day.
Don't forget that prayer you said before you hit the hay.

Around the table they sit,
cards in hand and talking sh-t.
Sometimes win, and sometimes lose
being together is what we chose.

BS is our pastime,
we love to shoot the bull.
The memories of the old times,
the dreams we have of new.

But soon we all are parted,
time to hit the hay.
We've got to face reality,
and go our separate ways.

We'll get together soon again,
and we'll party all night long.
Playing cards annd bullsh-t
are our favorite songs....
