I LIKE SUNDAYS

It's early morning of a new day dawning
and I lie alone in my bed. 
No no no my wife's not dead,
she left. 
I put my hands behind my head,
and as I stare at the ceiling,
I get this..... 
feeling
that,
I like Sundays.

I don't know why,
I,
like Sundays.
Well, yes I do, it's because,
when I was small the church bells rang
and we all sang, and praised the lord.
But today there is no bell,
no stories of heaven and hell.
No children play
in the streets today, and cry with joy,
but even so,
I... like Sundays.

And 
as I stare without a care,
no smell of bacon wafts up the stair,
no birds are singing, no church bells ringing.
I'm warm in bed and it's ALL in my head,
and I smile,
because,
I still like Sundays.

You're Sundays sound like those lovely, lazy days of which there are just too few. This one made me smile and plot to sleep in!

I go to church on Sundays, and we do have a bell, and I sing in the choir. My tiny church is much like the one I attended all those years ago, so...

I guess I like Sundays.
