meditate & morning pages,
walk a mile or exercise,
edit my words & write some more;
my daily routine,

oh, how I wish my life
were that simple,
just to walk to the mailbox
& collect my royalty checks

but it's off to work I go
& pray I have pen handy,
& free time to write down
the dandy snippets the Muse sends,
