I'm Tired
And I woke up, went to ceremony, and brunch
Where is my joy
Oh boy
I am not a toy
Get up, get out of bed
I am not a sleepy head
~
What if I was a toy
A barbie doll oyy
Would I make it to the water
for ceremony with a granddaughter
No, I would not matter.
~
Being a grandparent
is better than being a parent
I say that regularly now
And holy cow
there is a bowwow
barking outside my window, wow
Time to get rolling
not down a hill but moving
~
Water ceremony was a beautiful
day at the river. A chill of 24, full
of sun and birds, no bull
After ceremony, at tea
a friend told me
when I was yawning that it is catchy
I already knew that. She was scratchy.
Arthritis she claimed, itchy
all night long. It is better than the pain
I luckily can't relate to the strain
of arthritis. Should I say yet
I wouldn't want to bet.
~~
Yesterday I sat on a bench
for too d--n long, pardon my French
I have a sore bottom from that there
When will I learn to bring my chair
that I use for basketball, it really
does make all the difference nearly
every time. So suffering, and tired
glad I'm not out there hired
to train this week. I'm only expected
to be cheery on the weekend, not affected
by a sore bum. Have a good day today
I say, go out and play on this sunny day!
