Monday – Lying in Bed

Monday’s here already

I just can’t get out of bed

The sun’s already shining

The dog’s waiting to be fed

I know I should get going

But I stretch and roll instead

As I think of the goal I scored

And what my teammates said

The aches and pains I feel

From the big bruise on my head

Are definitely worth it all –

I’ve got pre-season street cred!
