It's 4:30 a.m. and my bothersome mind wants to think. The brain wants to spin and spin, not allowing me to sleep another wink. One's head, when he's retired, should be free of all thought Concentrating only on trying to recall the things we're forgot. Things like where are the keys and when to take a pill And is there a draft coming from under the window sill. My old mind, however, doesn't hesitate from at an early hour Knowing that's the time of day when I shower. It appears the brain gets cold as I snore and snooze in bed. The brain wants the hot shower water piping hot and warming my head. Instead of immediately bowing to the wishes of the mind that awakens me I've move from bed to recliner with electric throw, laptop, and tv. Whilst the brain thinks it is suffering from cold and I have arose Before the shower I must offer some "First to be Last" prose!!!

The earliest bird gets the worm they say, And my dog at the moon will sometimes bay. I get up too so early in the morning, And head to the throne 'cause my bladder gives warning.
On days that I work it's really no fun, Rollin' down the highway with the absence of sun. But when I come home it fills me with glee, The dogs and the cats I'm happy to see.
The cats always meow and the dogs sometimes bark, And most days I'd think that I'm on Noah's ark. They're always at the door and ready to greet, They root for my win here and think it'll be neat.

Calls me a "live one" unknowing if alive or dead. Doesn't even know if I still have my head. Some acquaintances would swear I've lost my mind But I don't care that they aren't very kind!
No idea how you can be "on your toes" as you claim The last I knew one was stubbed and you were lame. Must have recovered extremely fast Just to get back and post first to be last.
Why would you invite a clandestine operative to join the fun I'm really fearful of the lady... ANY lady with a gun! Let's hope she is kind when addressing this old sage The last thing I want is to see her in a rage!
Keep adding amateurs to the fun as you desire The more the merrier and from this fun I will NOT retire! The odds are building against me as I try to win the prize this time. Wait! The only things "odd" about this fun are those against who I rhyme!

A stitch in time may save you some time, But as we all know I'm the king of the rhyme. My toe, as you know, is tall and now better, That's 'cause I kept it wrapped in a sweater.
Whether you shave your head or have lots of hair, I know you don't go in the woods like a bear. But one thing's for sure and I bet you can run, If the clandestine lady were to chase you with gun.
And the more is the merrier is what I always say. Rhymes are real neat and you don't have to pay. Your mind may be lost and I hope it you will find, 'Cause now "I" am last and now you're behind.

I'm tired and I'm grumpy so what can I say? No golf as I have other responsibilities today. My wife has a doctor she needs to go see And for this she insists it must involve me. The procedure requires her have a driver to bring her back home So that means to the golf course I better not roam. We have a bus stop very close by As a joke I asked if she would give that a try. The bus could pick her up from right down the block And stops at the medical facility just a few ticks later on the clock. My joking was not taken well by my very dear wife. She said to decide whether she or golf was more important in my life. Taking a while to answer, with her didn't set well. It was unnecessary for her to even offer a yell. Just the glare and the silence the message was clear. That's why, this morning, I'll be with my wife... here! "If Mama is happy, everyone is happy" is an axiom from the past To which I will heed if planning to be the first to post last!!

I hope that your wife is all fine and well, And not laid up for any long lengthy spell. I know what you mean about keeping her happy. 'Cause when my wife gets mean, she gets real slappy.
So here I sit all broken hearted, The wife is just now getting my dinner started. I can't complain as boy can she cook! If I say anything, I too will get "the look'.
Then the pans will come out and they'll start flying, And if the cast iron hits, I know I'll be crying. Now a word from the wise and from lessons past, It is now you who is no longer last.
But I already know that in a few hours, You'll be back and my plan will have soured. Staking your claim as first to be last, Don't know 'bout you, but I'm having a blast!

The bride is fine, thank you for asking. In my relief, I find myself basking. Was just a 5-year routine colonoscopy And the doctor said nothing abnormal did he see.
The last time the proctologist invaded me with his "snake" I asked if they would let me remain wide awake. The doctor refused when I tried to explain Said he didn't want me whining when I felt the bad pain. You see I spent many, many days/weeks of me career Performing a task similar to "snaking" one's derriere. I watched remote cameras crawl through thousand of feet of sewer main Checking what needed done the line's integrity to maintain. Cannot believe there to be much difference, except maybe the words that define When watching a CCTV camera whether in colon or an old sewer line.
I could spend hours telling stories of what we see people flush The doctor works in an area where, if seen, makes people blush. Neither is a career many people's stomach would easily permit Yet both are important if you use a "throne"...a toilet!
We are few who have made a career playing in other people's poop. Each of us can attest, however, as members of this group No matter your wealth, status in life, profession, or name No matter where you live or what you do... all poop looks the same!!
Enough about the nastier things that are part of our being. There is one simple fact this old mind is now seeing. Just like we know the things we eat will need to be passed You can rest assured that I will be the first to post last!

Glad to hear that everything's fine, And your lovely wife will continue to shine. Dinner got done and thus we did eat, Then back to here and in my seat.
For eats it wasn't roast pig or bovine, It was chicken baked and tasting real fine. There's one thing for sure that all can see, The last to post is definitely me.

A shorter verse, I see, after filling your tummy I certainly hope everything was yummy! Eating the "bird" baked and not fried As to eating healthy you've really tried.
Some young folks eat healthy, yet never live long Some elders eat anything are aged before they are gone. I wonder how much of this "healthy diet" thing is fact Or between the doctors and food industry a pact.
It is my belief the meteorologists and grocery stores have a deal There is a contract somewhere, I know, under seal. A prediction of snow or blizzard or any natural phenomenon Brings crowds to the stores until shelves are cleaned and all food is gone.
People will buy enough bread and other food... and beer Enough, yes, to last for at least a year! They know the storm may well never become dire Yet they will buy food never to be used before it will expire.
Yes, there are "deals" between grocery stores and weathermen, you see Just like I also think one exists between doctors and the dietician industry! Books are written and sold as are the claims of happily growing old If you cook right and eat right and give up eating practices of old.
Why would one want to live a year or two more If in those couple years, eating became a bore. Fry up that chicken and bake up that pie Heap on the hot sauce and pile the carbs high!
And just as the "health nuts" my prose may leave aghast Remember my greasy burger and I will be first to post last!!

The memes keep attempting to drown out the prose And, that's really okay and so it goes. Visual can be easier to understand sometime Than words we enjoy offering in rhyme.
Makes no difference the methods or means I just enjoy others playing, it seems. Use words or visual or music or art Use any communication as you take part.
It will be interesting over this year To see what other folks offer, I fear. Just don't get too confident in your choice You see it won't be until December 31 someone's voice Will leave you heartbroken, sad, mad, and aghast As everyone crowns ME the first to post last!!!

Not much time to make a proper rhyme, The clock at my work is starting to chime. If I don't show up and perform my said duty, Out the door I will be and on my pa-tooty!
