Thank heavens it is Saturday


Had hardly any sleep last night
So hot we kicked the covers off
Our limbs spreadeagle not touching
Thank heavens it is Saturday

 A mozzie bite now marked my leg
I stifled the alarm early
Before it startled you awake
Left the curtains drawn tightly shut

 I pulled the sheet back over you
Went to kitchen put kettle on
Had my shower, was rinsing off
I heard you call me back to bed

 The charming thing about my wife
Is her most persuasive powers
Try as I might there was no way
That her offer I could refuse

 Sun's rays filtered though the windows
She grinned as I entered the room
Summer's heat now mingled with ours
As we rejoiced this brand new day

    Nothing like going back to bed when you realize you have no agenda for the day other than a bit of morning delight with the one you love.
