The tea in your coffee cup
Is important, drink it up
Add some milk if it's too hot
Drink it quickly if it's not
The coffee in your tea cup
Is important, drink it up
The cups are neatly labelled
But temporarily disabled
I try to hide what is inside
It's not like coffee-tea on a plane
You drink that twice if you're insane
I never complain, but don't drink it again

I had such a delightful day
With family, old and new friends
Sweet food and good thoughts flowed my way
Who'd want such a sweet day to end
But when with shock I saw the clock
Careless joy was turned to sorrow
What I thought was early today
Already early tomorrow
I must protect body and head
Be good always do the right thing
Tiptoe to welcome soft-hard bed
Remove glittery rhinestone rings
I let myself sink in a dream
Where soothing nonsense words are heard
Where mud seem to be bright and clean
Magic glamour of the absurd
All jumbled up was my whole week
I'd fallen in a coffee cup
Maybe my toe caught in the sheet
Over sugar rocks, I climbed up
In dreams I'm young and I am bold
Although my right leg's feeling cold
And I forget I'm getting old
Tomorrow will be good I'm told
I happily made my escape
Out of my bed, grab, I'm falling
The light told me it was daybreak
Hot breakfast croissant was calling
Well, life moves on, what can I say
Tomorrow now is yesterday
'though its tomorrow's now today
Hurray, future's still far away.

The title is ambiguous. It could mean the tomorrow of today, or the tomorrow is today.
I need to protect my body and head - more than my eight syllable pattern, I must protect body and head - that's eight syllables.
