Smiling

Monday Morning

Must get out of bed

Not only that, must be happy and smiling

Like I enjoy getting up early
Before the sun even rises
Or the grandfather clock strikes six times

Like I enjoy hearing a chime of a song
I don't even know
Before I've had my coffee

Like I enjoy drinking that dark liquid

That tastes more sour than a lemon
And smells like something in my attic

Like I enjoy waking up
Smiling and happy
Though everyone else is still sleeping.
