“Early to Bed, Early to Rise <br />Makes a man healthy wealthy and wise” <br />This is what I was told once <br />But as I sit here eating the same corn flakes <br />That I have eaten for the past four years <br />I realize <br /> <br />This is boring <br /> <br />Where’s the spice of my lifestyle? <br />Where’s the sponataiety? <br />Shouldn’t I be midnight skiing <br />Or skydiving off the space shuttle? <br />Where did all the time go? <br />What should I do first? <br /> <br />But as I sit here in the stars <br />Parachute strapped to my back <br />I realize the reason for humanity’s routine <br />It’s safe, it’s assured <br />And even when we don’t know if we’ll die <br />We know we’ll be doing the same thing the next day <br /> <br />These corn flakes don’t taste all that bad<br /><br />Kaz Kawasaki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-discourse-on-antigravitational-skydiving/
