School Started Today

I have been having a fantastic day. School was enjoyable and all of my classes seem awesome.

I have been holding out a good happy poem for all my readers and today is the day to let the world hear it.

Lazy Sun Day

The sun creeps slowly, over the horizon.
First, he swings his gut up over the tree line.
Each leg hefted afterwords, a stumbling accompaniment.
Yes, the morning has come. Sigh and meet the day.

Their are many things he does, in the early risen morn.
Scratch the exposed parts of his belly,
hanging beyond the edges of his shirt.
He yawns profusely and keeps little on his mind.

He consumes a strict diet of sky doughnuts.
Jelly and Bavarian filled, glazed and maple,
All in strict quantities, 80 each, kept in barrels.

He loathes his huffing trek across the sky,
through infinite blue fields of wispy clouds.
When overstuffed cloud-couches drift by he longs
to rest his calves and aching sun-shoes.

But the grunting and moaning must continue.
The sun must make his grueling trip.
For if the scents and sounds he makes,
don't jolt our senses to awake,
we will have no day to rise for.
