Miscalculated

by Jeffrey Parren

I'm at the
miscalculated
stage of my life.

Where 30 minutes
on the sleep timer
is not long enough
but 60 is too many
especially if the show
only has 44 remaining.

So after much
pondering
I end up forgetting
the timer anyway
and the TV stays on
all night
or one of my roommates
turns it off
which does make
me laugh in the morning
and probably annoys them
when it's happening.

I guess that's part
of getting older;
laughing about
your shortcomings
and making others
endure them.

That certainly would seem to be a part of getting older. Great perspective.

I agree with Gabe; excellently done.
