Spilled Coffee (Poem)

Here I sit

Nightie over my knees

Enjoying the wafting

Of the soft autumn breeze

 

My coffee cup in hand

And the newspaper laid out

Trying to find

What the world is about

 

The telephone rings

And I leap to get it

Before the 4th ring

When machine does it's bit

 

Mistake! Coffee spills

Oh how dumb!

Now hot java

Spills on my bum.

 

Will I never learn

To set the cup down

Before leaping to answer

And ending up brown?

Been there, done that. My husband may have done it this morning, I'm not sure. LOL

Ever thought of getting a cordless phone?

Leah I have cordless phones, but usually not close enough when it rings.
Mary M. Sep 27, 2008, 2:30pm EDT
I rarely jump to answer the phone. That's what voice mail is for!
