                     Day 117

                     Cafe breakfast.
                     Eggs over-easy
                     and cut the corny overhead music, ok?
                     I need to wake up gently.
                     On-the-road sucks ya know
                     and you're not making it any easier.
  
                     Crap, I should have skipped this
                     and stopped for lunch instead!

I can just see you sitting there pondering.
I agree,  cut the music....maybe the beef
is on the menu?

Oh, I do love a good laugh, and this was great.  It easily conveys its intended sentiments.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

This poem stuck in my head so I came back.  Krawdad, is this a political statement; it seems like maybe this is a countdown to the election date.  ????

Thanks all for stopping by . . .

Sey - never skip it, just grumble thru it

_lady - "I always break the yolks" - must be that Deputy attitude!  
heehee

iliana - no politics intended, just a grumpy ol' fart grumbling at breakfast.

Nice writing...reminds me of when me and my friend were motorcycling California...we would stop once a day at Perrys Smorgasbord and eat enough to last until the next day...James

I am a terrible person in the morning...

Someone should just shoot an arm in the door holding coffee...then back away slowly..
