On Behalf Of ManKind...

Light sneakily sliding through the crack of the curtains,
The wind howeling outside, but that is not what woke me.
A usually easy decision has become most daunting in my mind.
The sheets on my bed, soft on my skin.
Beds are always most comfortable in the morning. Fact.
Trying to distract myslef, but its no use.
Maybe I'm just lazy, hows that for an exuse
My blankets cuddle me, they don't want me to leave.
But there is someting I must do, something that will relieve me.
Something that is inevitable for all humans, all animals,
all creatures.
I just ask one question on behalf of mankind.
Why is the bathroom so far away?
