I frequently consider how
If nature had her way
I’d never tire as I do now
On a typical work day
It is not natural to awaken
Preceding birds or the sunrise
If bed were not forsaken
My facade would see demise
If I let nature have her way
My teeth: a bit more stained
Hair: frizzy, fifty shades of grey
My legs: a bit more veined
Re-emergence: my unibrow
Three whiskers on my chin
Hormonal regulation disallowed
Can’t see to read…hear my tiny violin?
In hindsight I’ve decided that
Nature kind of stinks
As such, I will groom like a cat
Because who needs forty winks?
