Oh Munc,

You old night owl you. What are you doing on so early in the morning? And on is the operative word here. I love it.

Oh I want to stay to play.
But must move forward with my day.

I must pack up my suitcase.
To go to a different place.

At this point not TV.
But in the fall I hope that's me.

But for now -- under the gun.
'cause my laundry is not done.

Will my laptop go along?
Or would that just be wrong?

Oh my gosh, I cannot stop.
I am going o'er the top.

It's that Doc Seuss thing that I read.
Now Theodor Geisel's in my head.

What if I talk this way all day?
Leaving others in dismay.

I must escape this newfound curse.
I will try becoming terse.

That would be ironic.
Boomer becomes laconic.
