Morning has come,
like the milkman used to,
picking up empty stars, leaving
a blue basket of Grade A clouds.
I have a haircut at nine,
grass to cut after that, then
the rest of the day is mine
to drink it in at my leisure.
Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!
