| Sleepin' in .... I said with a grin Is something worth waiting for; Working each day for 30 odd years had become such a terrible bore. The alarm goes off day after day; "I'm not getting up right now" Turn it off, close your ears" "Go Away, I'm here to stay "I'll show you how. The sun shines in and covers my head, it lands on the pillows, the sheets, and the bed. The birds outside sing their song It's all that I want, How can that be wrong. Dream away for most of the day, I deserve it now I'm sure; I've worked the days And earned the praise, Snoozing and snuggling, that's a wonderful cure. The cats move over or sit on my chest, I push them out - or try my best. They're not going - they're there to stay, They'll keep me company For the rest of the day. The phone can ring, keep doing its thing, I'm not leaving my nice warm bed. I deserve the rest, I did my best, I'll just say I had a pain in my head. :-) Callers will want to know where I was, On the morning they rang my bell; They can think what they want, Say what they feel, But I'm not going to tell. The dog joined the cats on the bed with me, So there's not much room to spare, We all cuddle up, the felines and the pup And no-one knows we're there. We have the right to stay in bed for as long as our hearts desire. Lunch time will do, we'd better get out And sit ourselves by the fire. Now I can sleep any day that I like I've retired - or didn't you know ? People can tell me - get up - get out but now I don't have to go. ~Jana B~ 2001 I adore sharing my bed with my darling four legged friends. I love their company as much as they obviously love mine. |
