Where has the day gone?
What has happed to it?
Why am I late?
Why am I in a hurry?
Confusion in time assails me!
No time to do things!
Nearly half my day has gone!
Why, oh why did it happen?
Why did I lay in?
Until six fifteen this morning!

You getting up late there?! A fine write Gold.
Yes, another day ruined.
I feel the same - my most productive hours are from 5am onwards - but don't try to contact me after lunch - I'm usually back in the Land of Nod.
We are very much the same in that case. I do go upstairs after lunch while Joyce is watching Neighbours of all things. I go and lay down to "read and listen to music".
By the way I'm not the greatest fan of the trumpet but WM can do no wrong
I used to play trumpet in a swing band, Joyce sang and played clarinet, so I enjoy trumpet playing, WM is so good in both classical and Jazz playing but my favourite trumpeter is Chet Baker, I think his playing is sublime.
You lost a moment in time - a few moments? Or shall we waste time with naff phrases, such as 'At this moment in time?!' lol.
Tomorrow is another day. Allow yourself a few extra hours snooze now and again.
That time in the morning is most important to me as it is the only real time I have to my self, "me time", while my wife is still in bed and I do not have to worry about what her dementia is causing her to do. That me time is where I write most of my poetry.
Andy,
I agree with dusk.
Why are we in a hurry?!
I really donāt miss those days when I had to āclock inā at the same time five days a week! That was stressful!
Have a wonderful day!
Love to Joyce and you.

Thanks Laura but I replied to da thus:

Thank you Theta.
THANKS FOR SHARING ANDY ! Love the HORN and love WYNTON ~ fast & smooth ! When I've a big project on my plate I often wish (and there are a few like that) who didn't have to sleep at all. So I go to bed late (after midnight) and I'm always up before 7. being single helps ! The odd night i am with ANGELA is OK because she is asleep almost as soon as she's in BED and she likes to be up before 7am. I can't read or work in bed ~ Angela loves to read in bed but soon falls asleep ~ AMEN. Thanks for sharing BRIAN.
Thank you Brian. As I have said in previous replies early mornings are the time I can write while Joyce is still in bed and I don't have to worry too much about her.
