So there is someone else in the world. I quit fighting it long ago. When I wake up, I get up. Sam’s ready to eat, anyway. There’s no rule and no clock. Morning is just as good as night and the coffee tastes better.

I knew where you were leading right from the start, know all about that feeling
Well done, you’ve captured it brilliantly.

Procrastinators of the world, -do it …later!

Well captured in short but meaningful lines. Everybody does it of course, Brenda.

Ha ha, get up and go pee!

it happens all the time

to young and old

some want to pee

some want to
put it in

I was hoping you were going a different direction with this.

Great poem!

That was a great poem

You should write more poetry, this one’s good.

Great One.

I could definitely relate to this one!

OMG that was so funny, I’ve been there often…Ha ha ha.

lol…nice lead into that one….great job….

That is cute and describes me to a tee. Why do we do that anyway? it is so stupid.

A suggestion would be to drink less fluids before going to bed.

Ih it happens at night, but its better not to prolong..yah just get up and do it.! Great poem.

Well expressed verses.

Very cute! I noticed that your husband thinks the same way mine does. Must be a guy thing.

Aren’t we fortunate to be living in this modern world with indoor plumbing? In past generations, folks would have to make a trip outside to get the job done.

I hear it happens with age.

You captured the feeling exactly…

lmao! that was funny, I held my breath through that getting scared because you wake in the death hour!

Just be glad you don’t have to go twice during the night like i do B. Great poem and flow…….i meant tha poem flowed well B, sorry.haha

I really enjoyed this poem. Having read some of your great, yet serious articles, it’s nice to see your sense of humor.

a good, funny poem however told about a subject that i think a lot of us experience from time to time. You are a great writer and should do more poetry.

“too tired to sin” LoL. I wnder what the sin is. Great reflection.

Oh how I can relate to that….funny

Well done, B. When that happens to me, I then can’t get back to sleep! Lots of midnight oil burning lately!

nice work B!
hilarious!

zankgwad, ya didnt ruin the bed !!
LOL

btw this line “too tired to sin.” mislead me,
i thought the ending would be an intresting one!
but hey, you’ve made it even more amusing !
had a good laugh!

n before i forget,

Merry christmas!

Haha…something we can all relate to at some time or other. Well put.

I never expected to hear you say something so simple. I liked this and its simple concept was made complex with its realistic tossings and turnings and wide eyed sleeplessness.

Such is the plight of the midnight toilet run, and the insomniac too i suppose.

Ahhh the bliss!

A fun, tongue in cheek view of a nightly curse!

Very nice. A bit of a twist at the end and I can totally relate.

Very amusing B

There’s always the catheter option.
