Suppression

i stay still.
if i move i'll ruin this moment.
two dogs peacefully snoring.
i try not to make any noise.
i find myself yearning to sneeze.

i fight for control over my body.
now my foot itches.
it's a common battle,
since the dawn of man,
we've tried to suppress ourselves.

i feel like laughing,
but i just smile.
it's been awhile since
i felt this torn.
my feet are falling asleep.

i'm tired too,
but i don't want to get up.
is it friday yet?
my moment of quiet content
is slipping away.
i want to hold on to it,
but i know it won't stay.

the snoring continues,
as i wonder how much longer
i can suppress the urge to use the bathroom!

Good Today

I feel good today
Let us play
I feel good today
Don’t snow on my day
I feel good - - I feel good

Snow drifting down out of sullen gray clouds
Cold being drilled into every bone
By indifferent winds
Slipping and sliding on invisible icy streets
I woke up mentally ahead
I drove 2 ½ hours to get 10 miles
But I won’t let Mother Winter win
Even though Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow
I won’t give in

I feel good today
Let us play
I feel good today
Don’t snow on my day
I feel good - - I feel good
