The Morning Poem

I woke early one morning,

The earth lay cool and still

When suddenly a tiny bird

Perched on my window sill.

He sang a song so lovely

So carefree and so gay,

That slowly all my troubles

Began to slip away.

He sang of far off places

Of laughter and of fun,

It seemed his very trilling

Brought up the morning sun.

I stirred beneath the covers

Crept slowly out of bed,

Then gently shut the window

And crushed his fucking head.

I'm not a morning person.


(Allegedly, translated from an ancient Urdu poem - until I''m able to trace that..)

My thoughts were on the same lines this morning,not so very lyrical,though.

They were more incoherent, and infused with more than the permissible amount rage.

And targetted towards a dog with enormous lung capacity, barking its head off before dawn - for the pure pleasure of barking..!!

It would have been a nice day..
