ME AND THEM

JUST A QUICKIE BEFORE BED :)

ME AND THEM

I still lay in bed. I hear the clink of a cup.

It doesn't surprise me he's already up.

There's two of us here but the cups will be three,

one cup for him and two for me.

A tentative toe tests the air, the heating is on,

clothes draped over the chair.

I smile to myself, I stretch right out,

any second now I  will hear the shout;

COFFEE'S GETTING COLD!

Two cuppas in the morning?

Pure gold.

Sweet and lovely writing. The kind of writing you want to read when you get up, a write that cheers up. I could feel the warmth and coziness of a bed again and smell the coffee.
Nicely written.
Though I'm not much of a coffee drinker but I can imagine. :)

Tea, but not every morning. I prefer juice.
Btw I might be absent for a few days but will return and send you the poem you requested.

pure gold to drink...ah, worth any gold in a mine, it is what gets her going in the morning to face all of her full day...that picker upper...Mother's Little Helper, like the Stones sang...those two cups are her pills.
