This morning was fairly typical. I woke up first at around 10:00 AM. I rolled over to look at the clock, the effort of which caused me to need some rest. I closed my eyes for a minute and it was 11:30 AM. I was still exhausted; that's how I start every day. My arms ache, my legs are dead, sitting up takes all the energy I have for a morning. Getting dressed leaves me breathless and done.
In the midst of this I thought of Neil Sedaka and his 1962 hit, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do". So I did this, sung to that famous tune. Please forgive me. Punctuate as you wish. I can come up with additional verses if needed.
"Waking Up Is Hard To Do"
Do do do
Down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Waking up is hard to do.
Don't take my legs away from me
Don't you leave my arms in misery
I'm exhausted and I am blue
Cause waking up is hard to do
Remember when my legs could stay upright
And my arms could hold a pillow tight
Think of all that they've been through
Now waking up is hard to do
They say that waking up is hard to do
Now I know
I know that it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of waking up I really want to go to sleep again
I beg of you don't say goodbye
Can't we give my legs another try?
Come on, arms, let's start anew
Cause waking up is hard to do
(They say that waking up is hard to do)
Now I know
I know that it's true
(Don't say that this is the end)
Instead of waking up I really want to go to sleep again
I beg of you don't say goodbye
My body really doesn't want to die
Come on, breathe and I'll get through
Cause waking up is hard to do
(Down dooby doo down down)
Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo down down
Comma, comma, down dooby doo down
