Up Too Early Maybe I’m up too early, Not really awake yet. Slowly crawled out of bed, Drifted about the house, Pissed in the trash can Before I realized it. Fool. Wondered who that was In the bathroom mirror, Put a dab of toothpaste On my razor and stopped Short of shaving my teeth. Good stuff, the edges of My beard will be just a Little “whiter and brighter”, So say the toothpaste ads. Morning meds. Take them. Maybe the night dose, too. God knows you need them. Was there someone here? Did I have a wife? Well, Whatever, she’s gone now. Really good party last night. A proper bachelor party, Women, booze, women. I better get back to bed. I need my rest before I do The wedding tonight. Oh, The life of a preacher man.
