as soon as you step out of bed.
Time will begin to fly
and if you try to catch it up
the further behind, you get.
You end up wishing
that you had stayed in bed
or maybe got out the other side.
Everything you try to do
you seem to be two steps behind.
It seems to be this way
all the rest of the day.
There is no turning back
and starting again
as time won’t let you.

Out of all the vegetables we eat,
They sometimes give out a little squeakand sometimes a cannon’s roaror the rat-a-tat-a-tat of a machine-gun flair.They are known as a wind instruments of the vegetable world.When they play,their revelries with a pungent airthere is no denying itbeans are good for you.They keep your enemies at bay;sadly, they also keep your friends as well.Everyone gets…
