The fine print

I'm exhausting
I'm stubborn
I'm often a pain
I demand all your attention
and I'm incurably vain

But on those rare occasions when I'm bearable for a minute

I'm charming
I'm courteous
I'm generous to boot
I'm even attractive
and some might say cute

But that might just be a rumor, because my frown says it all

I'm grumpy
I'm moody
I'm a bit of a snob
I'll tell you what I think of you
as if it's my job

but then I'll laugh and I'll throw you for a loop because...

I'm witty
I'm humourous
I'm a bit snarky too
I like to keep it light
I really really do

course with all this flip flopping you never know what you'll get
I could be marvelous, magical and full of wit
Or I could be a holy terror and an unbearable shit
but one thing's for sure, it's as sound as can be
if you don't love me when i'm grumpy then you don't deserve to see
the one a few cherish; the REAL Jesse

Christmas in bed

It's Christmas this morning
and I've already opened my favorite gift
She lies serenely on my chest breathing quietly
or at least quieter than she was earlier

The wrappings of my gift lie scattered around
They're purple, black and lace
they lay next to the two sweating glasses of orange juice
sitting side by side on the wooden trey
a breakfast trey that was part of my gift

I enjoyed my breakfast thoroughly
though I had not even a bite
well maybe one, but it didn't hurt
my appetite is never quite satisfied
looks like it's time for brunch
