Feeling Great

By Pedro Pietri

woke up this morning
feeling excellent,
picked up the telephone
dialed the number of
my equal opportunity employer
to inform him I will not
be into work today
Are you feeling sick?
the boss asked me
No Sir I replied:
I am feeling too good
to report to work today,
if I feel sick tomorrow
I will come in early

I came across Pedro's poetry while surfing the net one day. This poem totally blew my mind. I shall have it enacted post-haste!
