Today begins in morning calm

From restful sleep to aching rise

In disjointed gait I move along

My daily ablutions to reprise

Over time my elusive librium 

Becomes quivering  equi slowly

In a staccato riff of tedium

joints and muscles reach harmony

Next the chore of getting dressed

Underthings  best installed

While sitting on a stool assessed

To prevent an unpredicted fall

Socks and pants while sitting there

A shirt within a long stretched grasp

Complete the trousseau matched with care

My choice mute moot a bit perhaps 

And now the shoes for heavens sake

To bend and tie will never do

Loafers now must undertake

A horn and handle ease my throws

Now suitably adorned I’m off

To  take the trash to nearby road

And to my neighbours I now scoff

As their bathrobed hides exit their abodes
