I wake up in the morning
Wondering in a fright
What happened to that fellow
That went to bed last night
My eyes are all blocked up
I can hardly see
I don't know who this fellow is
It surely can't be me
The coughing and the spluttering
The back stuck to the bed
Mouth like in a bird cage
And a bad pain in my head.
I stagger to the bathroom
And when I come back out
I've turn back into myself again
What's all that about??
I know the feeling Don ,as usual youve hit the nail on the head.👍
Apart from gooey eyes and coughing you’ve just described me Don. No idea what it’s all about but love your take on life.
Xxxx😂😘💖💕💝❤️
The gooey eye thing is relatively new due to the numerous eye drops I have to put in for gluacoma. They also give me black eyes which cause people to ask what the other fella is like thinking I’ve been in a punch-up. Panda Don xx
Oh that’s not nice Don. I’m sure the other fella would have come off worse anyway. Lol.
Take care Panda Don. 🐼 xxxx
I use eye drops too Don, nose spray and artificial saliva, for Sjogren's (pronounced show grins). Flipping bad enough being poorly, without not being able to spell/pronounce the thing. 😒
One of my eye drops is marked 'not to be taken by mouth' and I thought what a stupid thing to say, who would be daft enough to do that as I missed by eye with a drop and it ran down my cheek into my mouth!
I do that all the time 
Oh! how we all relate to your rhymes Don, you put it down so well. It does seem to take longer and longer to come round though. I think it must be the winter as I dont feel quite so bad in the summer x
Can't we all relate to that? It could be any one of us I would imagine. Take comfort Don, your little lodger doesn't care what you look like, he loves you just as you are. Cheers, Chrys
Midge is a female, Chrys, and has learnt to stay in bed longer in the winter to give the heating system time to get the bedroom warm. 🙂
Sensible little girl is Midge! I remember when I was young around 7 years old, bedrooms weren't heated then., and the Winters were bitterly cold. My mother would call me to get up for school. Having to leave that warm bed was criminal. I used to count to 10 to pluck up coursge, then get up quickly, and, run down the stairs into the bathroom to have a quick wee. In the meantime my mother was lighting the coal fire and drawing it with a newspaper. I forget how many times it caught fire with me screaming that the house was going to burn down. Oh such memories Don.
Drawing the fire with newspaper brings back memories. I do miss my open fires, but what an inefficient way of heating that was. Mind you, toast has never tasted the same.
Simple solution Master...........don't get up until the afternoon and the old you will return as before.
Grasshopper...busy in the temple x
I’ve lost the art of staying in bed. I didn’t have any trouble when my wife used to bring me my breakfast in bed, to keep me from getting under her feet.😟
Good evening Mr.D and a mighty fine rhyme that was,something we surely all go through as we get older. I have to admit that just yesterday i caught sight of myself in a small mirror and i don't mind telling you, i was not impressed. This womsn looked older than her years(a bit like.my lungs😂) and looked fraill and had lots of worry lines to-boot😂😂😂!!
🐿💕💕
I’ve reduced the amount of lighting in my bathroom for that very reason.😉x
😂😂😂🐿💕
Think this rhyme and the whole thread is excellent and relates to most of us here .
Brilliant Don 👍💕x
Thank you Kitty, a bit of light-hearted banter doesn't go amiss as we battle on. 😘
Lovely one Don x
Ha ha love that. 😘
I take my hat off to you sir you’ve done it again excellent
I bought me a full spectrum light
It comes on 30 minutes before I rise...
The birds are all chirping in it...It
is very tender on the eyes!
We have 3 glands in the forehead...
They help our brain out a lot! The
Light activates the glands..
Endorphins....They
multiply the lot!
It also plays soothing music
The whole half hour or so
I get up feeling a lot better
Oh
Hell......Let it snow!
You cannot make up the week I have had!
Getting out of Bed, its so easy these days!!!!!
why am i so breathless when i get up in the morning
How many people do not tell the truth just to stay in hospital
Still in hospital
