Out-of-Body Blues

I woke up this morning.

So help me, I was dead.

I looked down at my body:

"Look at the state of you!" I said.

 

I didn't see it coming

yet I was not surprised

to wake early this morning

and find out I had died.

 

Now I can see

just where I went wrong.

I was so very plainly

more King Mong than Kong.

 

I had too much of Mr Kipling

and his friend Mr McVitie.

There was a paucity of pumpkin

and scarcely any celery.

All-out rampant negativity

buzzed around my noggin.

I shied away from muesli

and downward-facing doggin'.

I spent my time sniffing 'round your back door

when I should have been in church.

I wasted my days hiding my eyes

when I should have been using them to search.

 

 

 

The following day...

 

I woke up this morning.

Hallelujah, I'm alive again.

I've decided to make some changes

but I haven't figured out when...
