A 10 minute snooze,
just a bit more before I climb downstairs to see the kitten,
the dog,
the lights out
and a half pot of coffee still warming.

Just some internet time,
a look at this page,
at that one,
is anyone waiting for me there?

Just a coffee or two,
with a pumkin spice creamer,
my mouth gets more holiday time than the rest of me.
A few more minutes just for me,
before I drive through the frost
and arrive with expectations of knowledge and greatness.
Before I'm the one that has to nuture, educate and tame.
