The Day Begins at Five! � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �(Stupid)

The last hour of the night is 4am.
If you can get to bed at this hour,
You can still consider yourself
Having �gone to bed last night�.

Even in summer this is so.

But once you hit 5am, it�s morning.
Sober people are starting their engines up outside.
Birds start complaining about the morning news.
You�re fucked then. Your schedule�s off now.

Falling asleep after 5am is just as bad
As nodding off at 8 or 9 or 10 in the morning.
You might as well stay up and smoke another joint
And finish another level on the game.

�No rest for the wicked...�
�Live life to the fullest...�
�Plenty of time for sleep after you�re dead...�
Etc.

If I were that madman up in Venezuela,
I�d institute an entire change to the state clocks:

"The day begins at 5am! That�s that!

Not 12am midnight,
Like those pagan capitalist cavedwellers still kneel to!"

Please, brothers, sisters,
Write to your local MP or Congressperson:

Move 12am over by five hours...
Have the day begin at 5am!

Figured I'd lighten it up a bit.

One of my great afflictions is that I just can't put out an array of serious poems without putting something silly into the mix. It's what Jim Nut Roarin is all about. So alas, I shall begin to categorize these silly poems with the affixing of the "(Stupid)" to their titles. That way, you the good reader, can skip past them if you are in no mood to be taken out of your mood...

Although for this piece the "stupid" probably works for the title - "The Day Begins at Five, Stupid!"...

If I ever get better organized and caught up on things, I might even go so further and do the corny thing of setting up various theme days such as "Fried Fridays" for drugs poems, "Seduction Saturdays" for love poems and erotica, "Spiritual Sundays" for Spiritual poems (or maybe "Spiritual Saturdays" and "Seduction Sundays" - kinda' sounds better) (actually you WON'T be wanting to read the kind of erotica I put out...).

Maybe "Melancholy Mondays" for anger, self and observation poems, "Tormented Tuesdays", "Warped Wednesdays" (more drugs poems, of course)...

Haven't figured out what Thursday is...
Maybe "Thirsty Thursdays" for happy hour drinking poems, since I have quite a few too many of those...
