I planned a calm morning,
but life had other ideas
and sent in a rooster
with no concept of volume control.

I tried to roll back under the blanket,
pretending the day wasn’t quite
ripe yet.

Too late.

The rooster crowed.
The coffee demanded attention.
And the day announced itself
fully ripe,
slightly overconfident,
and impossible to ignore.

So I rolled out of bed,
accepted my fate,
and joined the world —
because when a day is ripe,
it doesn’t wait for permission 🐓☕😂
