sunday morning gettin' up

It’s Sunday morning here in chez Jimbo’s girlfriend.

You may recall, if you are familiar with the works of Kris Kristopherson, he had a negative opinion of Sunday morning. In his song Sunday Morning Comin' Down he sings,

There's nothin' short of dyin'
half as lonely as the sound
of a sleeping city sidewalk
Sunday morning comin' down

That's where Kris and I have a divergence of opinion. Here at chez Jimbo's girlfriend, it’s time to read the paper, drink coffee and relax.

It's a good morning; a day of rest.

One may recall, if one reads his scripture—particularly the old testament—that even God took the day off.

Jimbo,
Who wrote this song? I always thought it was a Johnny Cash song.
Shows you what I know. Have a good one.

John,

I was relying on my memory about Kris Kristopherson writing this song, so I did some research and I found a couple of sites crediting it to Kristopherson. This one tells the story.

Glad to see you're still a reader.
