    Poem Commentary

    Just an exaggerated snapshot of me on a cold, snowy morning.

    LAZY!

    Need a crane to get me outta bed
    or a good fire under me
    it's cold out there and oh so white
    Didn't win the lottery last night
    :::
    Gotta get up though, life ain't free
    no work, no pay, no future
    Much as I hate it gotta get outta bed
    Used all my sick days, can't call in dead
    :::
    Maybe a cuppa joe and a couple eggs
    bacon or sausage, toast, jam 
    maybe that'll make me feel alive
    gird my loins for that snowy drive
    :::
    Then again, reset the alarm
    sleep another hour or so
    plan sounds awful good to me
    too damn bad that life ain't free
    Need a crane to get me outta bed
    or a good fire under me
    it's cold out there and oh so white
    Didn't win the lottery last night
    :::
    Gotta get up though, life ain't free
    no work, no pay, no future
    Much as I hate it gotta get outta bed
    Used all my sick days, can't call in dead
    :::
    Maybe a cuppa joe and a couple eggs
    bacon or sausage, toast, jam 
    maybe that'll make me feel alive
    gird my loins for that snowy drive
    :::
    Then again, reset the alarm
    sleep another hour or so
    plan sounds awful good to me
    too damn bad that life ain't free

    More and more people are beginning to think like this! So sad. Used to be a day when they that didn't work (able bodied) they didn't eat. Now they that don't work get to eat on OUR DIME! What a world..."Only in America!" Sheeesh!

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
