Get Up, But Don’t Bother Me...... [humor; Short Enough; Marriage; Fiction! ; Modeled On Lora Colon's 'similar' Poem]

Rating: 5.0


If you awaken before me
And I'm crying in my sleep,
I must be dreaming of you,
You dirty rotten little creep.

If you awaken before me
And I’m smiling HAPPILY,
I’m planning our divorce,
Thinking how NICE it sure will be.

If you awaken before me
And I’m shivering ….”with cold”,
It’s NOT from the temperature,
But from the ‘bill of goods’ YOU sold….
ME!

If you awaken before me,
Don’t ever DARE get near.
Or I’ll blacken both your eyes;
For YOU I have ….not a speck of fear! !

If you awaken before me,
Just get yourself off the FLOOR.
And don’t DARE get in bed with me,
Or I’ll whack you like I’ve done before.

If you awaken before me,
Get busy; you know the drill.
Two eggs over easy on dry toast,
And don’t you DARE, MY coffee spill! !

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
OOPS! ! ! I HAVE GOTTEN ONE COMMENT FROM A reader (Amitava) in which he seems to think I (bri) am the one bossing my mate around. AND, having just read the poem to myself I CAN SEE WHY HE THOUGHT THAT! ! ! [after all, i am the writer. BUT THIS JUST GOES TO PROVE THAT LOOKS CAN BE VERY DECEIVING!) THE SEX OF THE SPEAKER AND PERSON SPOKEN TO ARE not mentioned in the poem! ! ! :) bri

BUT.............NO, NO, NO! THE WOMAN IS STAYING IN BED AND GIVING ME ORDERS, NOT the other way around. yikes! ! ! ! Just like HERE AT HOME! ! !

(sorry guys)

my poem, as serious as it is, is copied (but a bit different from) PH member Lora Colon's fantastic poem: 'If You Awaken Before Me'. check it out. i also recommend Valsa George's fine (but a little too serious for my taste; NOT!) poem: 'ON The Dentist's Chair'. why couldn't i have written them? !

maybe i'll write 'On The Urologist's Table'. any interest in THAT? bri :)

I'm so glad I read your commentary Bri and that you're not that sort of person. I did laugh when I realized I was also fooled into believing it to be about an abused woman when there are so many people out there of both sexes who live in such a scary despicable reality.

By chance, if I awaken before you Don't look for me anywhere else I'll be in the kitchen near the fridge Gobbling down ice cream, before it melts!

I've added this to my list of favorites. My favorite stanza is: If you awaken before me, Get busy; you know the drill. Two eggs over easy on dry toast, And don’t you DARE, MY coffee spill! ! 10+++

Ha Ha it is easy and good to write, but just once you try to blacken those eyes and then God only may help you guy. She will definitely get busy in her drill, but not with Two eggs over easy on dry toast Rather - Two eggs will be thrown on your face and chest ! ! ! ! ....... Ha Ha thank you and love you
