I think that everyone can relate to days like this. You're in bed snuggled down nice and warm and not wanting to get up. This is an excellent poem describing days like that. I like it. Well done.

This is a super poem, Christine. Love the image to illustrate this fun write. Word choices, flow and rhyming are just right and bring a smile. I do think that even doggies get bored. Me and mine have been stuck in the house pretty much for 3 days during a snowstorm. Everybody is itching to get out. When we're bored we want to eat and sleep whether we're people or doggies. :) Marilyn

Christine--What a lovely little poem. Nice rhyme scheme, and it says a lot! Very musical rhythm as well. Excellent graphic adds to the light tone of your poem. Nicely done!

    Hi Susan, Thank you this just came to mind as I do my reviews and sometimes write in the early morning and I spend a lot of time still in bed on FS and after a few hours just snuggled under for a little sleep LOL .a bit of fun this one Cheers Christine

How I can relate to this one (especially because it's Monday and it's still snowing in Chicago). The bouncy feel of the poem contrast with the urge to stay in bed - nice, given the poem's message. (an aside on the meter - the strongly accented "No!" of your penultimate line seems to interrupt the meter, since all of the other lines seem to begin with an unaccented syllable, but that may just be my read).

At any rate, a great Monday morning poem - thanks!

    Hi Mark, Thank for your review and comment I hadn't thought of that but wanted to highlight the No as my mind body still wanted to stay in bed but my mind was telling me No get up. It is easy to want to stay especially when it is cold. Ha Ha. We arejust starting to get cooler nights and days here it is mid Autumn so Winter is coming. We get a little snow in winter but usually only lasts a few hours before it melts. stay warm Cheers Christine

Nothing better for health than to catch up with sleep, there is not need for an excuse or to feel guilty! Being lazy is okay! Your poem is a tribute to it! Love Dolly x

A very well-written poem about a lazy day when we can sleep late and relax for a while. Put all chores aside and take a day off. I sometimes wish I can do just that. I cannot sleep later than 7am no matter what.

Reads very well with good steady, bouncy rhythm. A very relatable poem especially with daylight savings just ended and cool weather coming on in Kiwiland! Thanks for the read. And yes to nanna naps.

Another enjoyable read, Christine. I'm sure a lot of us can relate to that predicament, and react the same lazy way.

    Hi Don, Thank you and yes it is easy to be lazy on a cold day. Re the date in Australia we write the day first then the month then the year so It was written on 11 / 4/ 2018. I know some places put the month first and then the day so that may ne the confusion Cheers Christine
