STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE

Half-light of five a.m., I reach,
grasp a handle, bring the article to rest,
add a spoon of instant coffee,
start to pour hot water.
Rude awakening:
it’s upside down.

What sadist designed this thing? 
The handle loop’s symmetrical:
you can’t tell top from bottom.

Back to bed –
I’ve always thought, as Churchill did,
rising much before midday
 is a mug’s game.
