me ,my "mouse"..NOW then,what egg is in your house ?

It was all quiet this brand new year morn

I was feeling happy and yet a bit forlorn

I thot how quiet ,all others were still sound asleep

for me , even those "pesky" counting sheep...

so here I am awake early while all is quiet within this house

no creature is stirring but me and my "mouse"

My mouse doth protest this early morning ruse

and "squeaks" vehemently, early a.m. abuse

rest.. rest... it shrillingly declares...

my head agrees with early a.m. pre caffeine bugged eyed glares

yet the caffeine, with ibuprofen to calm the headache "parade"

has kicked in,preventing sleep, and creating weird poem tirades..

alas and alack is their any hope ?

perhaps I'll desist writing and google visit twitter or snopes...

oh dear twitter and snopes must now wait for me

all have awaken, breakfast is "due" is their a.m. plea

eggs(big or small? I ask),sausage,toast and cereal is "for" breakfast, of course

headache still "attached"...sleep I cry inward, but without remorse

because while at times it can be trying, this course , my life

we grow, I discover,under big or small stuff or strife

so head up ,shoulders back, a "wee"tug on those boot straps

a good look at today's & tomorrows "goals" there's no excuse

for even fleeting looks back...

join me , my blogging "friend"...go, win, conquer,subdue

I Know you can do "it" I believe in YOU....

(those eggs are for real. The brown ones are the creative "work' of our

happy Rhode island red hens, those whopping big blue ones?? ... give up?

Why they were "gifts"

from my precious swan "babies"...we have a "pair" which I am thinking is actually two pens

no I didn't make that up. Girl swans are called a pen , the fellas? cobs.What about the babies? signets, of course. Yes the eggs taste good, in fact yummy.
