Luxuriously Tranquil

Luxuriously Tranquil 

lay on the bed

with a yawn full of dreams

and a cumulus head 

 

It didn't care much

for the midday rush

It much preferred calm

and the lull of a hush

 

With purpose, it idled 

Into sweet, silent bliss

But, at 2 in the morning 

It, still, had to get up to piss 🙄
