Wakes at nine
Coffee (instant)
Crosswords (cryptic)
Until eleven
Twelve o’clock
Is beer o’clock (home brew)
He rolls one cigarette
Per hour
Reads a book (WWII)
Until it’s three thirty
Biscuits (tasteless)
And cheese
Watches the birds roost
Until five fifteen
Tea time (canned soup)
One slice of bread
Television ’til eight,
He remembers his wife
Couch-bound (emphysema)
And he says “Goodnight”.
