Why Bother?


I am hopeful, trying to come up with the right words,
Attempting to carefully arrange, intent on describing,

Striving to explain why on Earth I bother getting up in
The morning. Is it that something or someone is call-

On me to rise, or is it that I am old and sore and can-
Not lie in this sagging bed anymore? For one, the dogs

Need out to poop and pee. As for me, well, ripen to
My age and cantankerous disposition and you’ll see.
