Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Morning Mourning

Every morning at breakfast, I'm

Reading the newspaper so that,

I've told my wife, the only time

Before leaving our habitat

To go to work when I must be

Upon all current events, well.

My boss relies on this from me.

It took a while for me to sell

This excuse to my wife, so I

Could avoid the chit chat with her.

My wife, skeptical, I guess why

She felt need to jolt me for sure.

The shockingest read of my life,

My obit posted by my wife!
