This Day That Age - Chapter One

The day started, oh! so suddenly
The maid was at the door at the unearthly hour (t'was 9a.m. on a sunday)
"What the hell" I yelled as I stirred, quickly remembering
I have tons of things to pack into this day

On any other day I would have ignored her
and gotten back under the sheets
cussing in silence as she ding-donged repeatedly
but today was an exception; I thanked her for the favor

"From Dusk to Dawn" was music enough
to stir a mind that was laid to waste
from watching endless games of football
through the night into the wee hours of the morning

Ah! so many things I accomplished today
Cleaned my throne to a sparkle
cooked my lunch too
then left to conquer my fears
