Wake up sleepyhead! Get out of bed!
It’s Saturday morning, and there’s a long day ahead.
From last week’s flooding, there’s to be more sweeping and mopping,
plus the chicken’s wings to clip, so they’ll quit their fence-hopping…
though I should’ve done it last night while they were asleep on their roost,
but I couldn’t make myself do it, even with a coffee boost.
Then, there are the boxes of things to put with my neighbor’s yard sale.
Yikes! That’s TODAY!

No, wait, isn’t that not until tomorrow, because today is only Friday?
Ha! If my alarm clock goes off again, I’ll lock it up and throw away the key.
Or I maybe I’ll stuff it into one of those yard sale boxes and sell it off for cheap.
Yeah, let someone buy it for a mere ten cents; a dime for their time, ha, ha.
Maybe I’m gonna like being retired after all.
