The First Cup
You made your bed - lie in it!
The First Cup
Who brings you your first cup,
on the opening of eyes when you wake up?
Each day has a new beginning
and we have no knowledge of what its bringing.
So it’s good to start each breaking day,
with a shot of caffeine as you lay.
It’s not the same when you wake up
and have to make your own first cup,
but it is these days more often the case
as humans become a more solitary race.
No point in bleating on what went before
you’ve made your bed and know the score.
So as the sun brightens this old world up
and you climb back into bed with that first cup,
enjoy the benefit of blessed solitude,
as you adopt again a recumbent attitude.
Relish a gentler start to the day
but this time do it your way.
