My yearly contribution of doggerel for National Poetry Month:
I Used to Look Good in The Morning
I used to look good in the morning, but now I look really bad,
I used to sleep with a cherub’s face, but now it’s an old sea hag’s
I used to look good in the morning and woke looking sexy and strong,
Now I wake spent and haggard, and start the day with a yawn
I used to look good in the morning, and start the day with a song,
But the realization of my poor singing, convinced me that was wrong
I used to look good in the morning, and start the day with a bong,
Now I start with coffee, going forth with hammer and tongs!
