Wake Up and Smell the Morning

Crisp nocturnal air comes creeping

In my head as sunrise beckons

And the night bird sings its pleasure

Welcoming the coming day.

In the kitchen, no denying,

Coffee lifts its aromatics to

The membrane of my being,

Treasure served on silver tray.

Crispy bacon, toast with jelly,

Luscious melon on the side.

Cornucopic feast of fancy,

So much more than I deserve.

Keeping with the rituals of

Staunch traditions eons old,

Nourishing our temple to

Obediently serve.

How can you lie silent when

The dawning calls your name?

Wake and smell the morning

Sweetly joining in the game.
