Virginia Salter waiting and hungry up too early seeking encounter with human or food why couldn’t sleep remain at least until the paper came so I could feel a lot less lame with something cool to do the world out there’s still fast asleep not even worms or birds do creep a distant rumble fills my ear of either train, or truck in gear so someone else moves about is coming in or going out but me I sit while stomach shouts feed me, feed me today! this solitude it’s fine awhile as long as I retain my style it’s easiest to keep my smile when things go ‘long my way but when the world turns end on end it gives my heart and mind the bends and little does its voice defend this glitch that ‘brupts my day it’s much too early to begin to weave the deeds somewhere up my sleeve why can’t I just indeed receive commencement of this hour oh, yes, the clock is ticking so the secs and mins are on the go and sun has risen this I know but my day is short of flower ©May 6, 2001 |

And my day is short of flour ... no biscuits and gravy today  |

Up way to early to enjoy a thunderstorm. Just coffee will do for me. I did read the paper on the internet. Like to check and make sure I'm not in the OBIT section. |

Early rising is good. Some times. But I can never beat my cats up. I enjoyed this poem. Joyce |

Thank you all, and you are all just too funny. Joyce, I'd bet your cats wouldn't want to be beat up, either.  |
