Come, will you drink from my cup? A first thought... I recognize that odd voice; not quite cut from the same cloth. Elmer Fudd, Saturday morning cartoons, falling again in the mud. It's a game... I used to remember too, waking up, pretending lame. Make it fast was my one favorite wish, watching Dad make the breakfast. My turn now; pancakes are made as he did. Not enough time for a wow, Time to go! Too many errands need me. When will I ever be slow? Waking up from the dream of another... Come, will you drink from my cup? ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
