Why Complain?

Thomas W Case



I woke up with
A sore back, and
stepped in cat
vomit when my
feet hit the floor.
I turned on the
radio, and My Favorite
Things was playing,
the John Coltrane
version.
It reminds me of
rainy July nights.

I make some coffee,
And check the book sales.
Hey, I got a couple in
India, and the coffee tastes
right.

I take it as it comes.
Black and true, like
Steinbeck's bones.
Don’t forget about the
goings of mice and men.

      Could have had a better start to the day as vomit isn’t very appetising, but hey, things got better:) Good on your book sales.

      The mundane and every day is what life is made of. I love Steinbach of mice and men.
