Early Friday A telling tale of Krissy Early Friday morning before she’s wide awake We have to get going there’s a trip we have to make Come on my darling daughter get on out of there It’s hard rousing Krissy who’s as grumpy as a bear Still asleep my Krissy? Well, wake up darling do Or I know we’ll be late and I’ll put the blame you I’ll stand there at the check-in and say it was she So don’t you point your finger or think of blaming me Early Friday morning as the sun streaks the sky We have to get going we’ll really have to fly My Krissy isn’t driving she’s not at her best She the poor little angel needs twenty hours rest I’ll not tell you tales but if I did you’d soon see That I’m not joking about her being so sleepy She’s driven herself to work almost in a dream Not even seeing what’s in her rear windscreen Early Friday morning as the dawn rises up I’ll be feeding dear Krissy black coffee by the cup She has to be awake for the security There’s no one quite as scary as a sleepy Krissy She doesn’t just growl she is pretty savage too And when questioned by them who know what she will do If they ask her did you pack this bag by yourself Likely she'd reply, 'No I had help from a stupid elf' Early on Friday morning early to be sure Krissy will give me trouble I’ve seen it all before She isn’t a morning person, no not at all I only hope that she stays awake for our flight call I pray not like the last time when she fell asleep I could not wake her up or hear a single peep We nearly missed our flight and all Krissy had to say Was, ‘Mum I’m dying here, we’ll go another day Early Friday morning we’re off to catch the plane I wonder if we’ll make it or will I go insane I know you think I’m lying about dear Krissy Well, just you wait my fine friends each one of you will see A sight that’s likely to give you all a fright An early morning Krissy is not a pretty sight She isn’t very happy, a groaning growling pain By 12 o’clock she’s happy and smiling once again I do love Krissy except early in the morn She’s been a morning misog since the day she was born Marsha This will be the last poem I’ll be posting for a little while and I’m posting it because I can. And Krissy can’t retaliate because she’s already asleep, as I will be. Bye for now my darling friends have fun, and this is supposed to make you smile, so smile  Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and they balm Let sense be dumb let flesh retire Speak through the earthquake wind and fire [This message has been edited by Marsha (09-19-2002 07:52 PM).] |

LOL! Krissy sounds like a real bear in the mornings! You realize, Mushy, that you have armed me with information that compels me to bang on her door with pot and spoon each morning just to watch her perform.  Should be fun..Florida is waiting.....  |

I am getting so excited about meeting everyone, Marsha... I don't do mornings either, but at least we're driving so I won't have to worry about getting up really early...  ~ hugs from a soon to be traveling chipmunkLyra |

What i wouldn't give to join y'all. You know we would have a rip-roaring time. I have to understand only too full well, what living with a NON-morning person is like. Absurdly told in fact, your poem not only made me laugh out loud, but made me sigh out loud remembering all the mornings i woke up my boys and put on my clown suit (so to speak) just to make them laugh..... Give Krissy a warm hug for me, Maaaaasha, one for yourself and have a great time! jeff |

But once poor sleepy Krissy is at last aboard the plane It's then her mother's phobias drive her quite insane! Reluctant to ruin her fingernails, all pretty as could be A nervous Marsha reaches over and nibbles on Krissy's! ROFL... I love this, Marsha! Note to self: Lock up every pot, pan, and spoon before bedtime. Keep out one carving knife and carry it constantly, just in case Bal has other vicious ideas up his sleeve. LOL |

What a wonderful time you will all have ... and Krissy only has to miss the first four hours of every day Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

I love this one. I'm so afraid I won't wake up in time next Friday to get to the terminal. The plane leaves at 5:45 am, and it's 45 miles away. I'm seriously considering not going to bed at all. Nan(Pilgrim variety) |
