Up before the birds, before
the news paper boy gets to throw
the paper just out of reach,
so I don't need a bathrobe on to get it.
Up before the store opens.
On line with others just like me
small talking the weather and price of onions,
organizing coupons to be use double checking
expiration dates, proud of my choice spot on line..
This is what my life's become
retirement on a fixed income,
not for the squeamish!
