Good Morning Sunshine

The other night my roommate Angelica decided to cornrow Jeff's hair, with glorious results.


The following night I went to bed rather late and so I had to crawl into bed in the darkness.
At 8:30 the next morning I woke up to this staring back at me.

Needless to say, I jumped a little bit. Then I started giggling to myself in my half-awake state. I'm very glad my other roommates had already woken up.

I then promptly fell back asleep and forgot what had happened, and so I did the exact same thing a few hours later when I woke up.

So thank you Jeff, for managing to freak me out not once, but twice.
The picture is still there. It makes me laugh every morning.

Janette,
Oh wonderous laughter flows from thee
Tis happy happy as yonder tree
grows up and hits the tow'ring air
'Tis not, 'tis not, but only hair

For this last time or so is thinked
The rows of corn have thus been chinked
By those who Jacks of all trades be
Roommates, roommates, so to thee

Good night, good night, the call of bed
At last a place for the Pomade (r) head
Or she who sees and giggles free
To wake at morn, heart full of glee!

--
Paz,
Jeff

  1. I'd be quite fine with never seeing that expression on Jeff's face again. Also, that's the most amazing (love) poem I've ever seen. Nice work, Jeff.

  2. Thank you, thank you. By the way, to anybody reading this blog, it kind of seemed like I was in Janette's room when she woke up...I guarantee that I never set foot in her room. The picture was there.

  3. Jeff is my roommate and I know him to be a compulsive liar. He was back there.

  4. In all seriousness I am a compulsive liar but rest assured that I would never except on special occasions set foot in the back of a ladies' apartment.
