Sunday morning, late newspaper blues
Lie here waiting, agitating,
Awake, since the crack of dawn;
Sun is rising, I’m despising
The newsboy for taking so long!
Every Sunday, without failure,
Late, just as the one before,
In no hurry, he’s not worried,
What time he puts it through the door.
Is he lazy or just listless?
Should I give him a tip this Christmas?
Is it his fault or his boss’s?
No matter what, it’s why I’ve got,
These Sunday morning
Late newspaper blues!
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday and Saturday too
Newsboy’s early, seven thirty,
Believing’s hard although it’s true!
But each Sunday, without failure,
Late, just as the one before,
It’s nine thirty, or nine forty,
Before he puts it through the door!
Is he lazy or just listless?
Should I give him a tip this Christmas?
Is it his fault or his boss’s?
No matter what, it’s why I’ve got
These Sunday morning
Late newspaper blues!

Hi Tony
Many many thanks for your very very kind and generous comments, plus stars! Often simplicity is best! Why make a simple story more complicated than it needs to be?
Very best wishes
