Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten; Dan Weingarten & David Clark for June 16, 2023

It is time to get up and concede defeat to a new day.

Better to inspire than to expire.

Many a day, mourning seems more appropriate.

What’s Barney doing out in nature? Did his chauffeur quit?

Cuz there’s usually not much about mourning that’s good.

Mourning the slumber that has come to an end.

“Good Ev-en-ing…”

There, is that better? ㋛

Could Barney hear the difference?

I hear mourning doves in the morning.

Can’t argue with the man…

Only in comic-speak can morning be mourning but in vocal-speak it could be either, how c u m?…

Just sleep to noon, like I do ( I worked second and third shift all my life, not changing my sleeping habits now).
