When you get old…

 …it is hard to hit the floor running 

first thing in morning 

stepping out of bed.


That cliche, perhaps, 

was for a younger us.


Now, it is advisable 

to first count 

the number of toes, 

and make sure 

none went wandering

on their own


as you slumbered,

through a fitful sleep.


Only then, 

get up gingerly 

and touch

the coldness 

of the winter floor.
