Morning Carol
By P. G. Wodehouse

Oh! The present is gay,
And the future is bright.
As I lie on my bed
With a heart that is light.
For I think with a smile
(And I know I am right)
That my face is a fairly
Presentable sight,
And I need not get up
For ten minutes quite.
For -Oh! Rapture ecstatic,
I shaved overnight.
