No Such Luck

I hear it calling me
Constantly
clanging
Jingling and Jangling
crying louder and louder.

I hear it calling me
ever so urgently
pleading with me
to get up and go.

I hear it calling me
I know I must answer
but every fiber
of my being
says "No".

Maybe if I lay here
covered from ear to ear
Maybe if I'm quiet
it won't cause a riot
Maybe it'll just go away.

No such luck
not for me
It's that time
I must heed.

Get up,
hit snooze
but still
You will lose
Time to go.
Time to move.

The alarm
calls and
you've no choice
listen to the sound
of its voice.

Before The Alarm

I've caused myself serious harm
I somehow awoke before my alarm
Did I do some permanent damage?
Only time will tell.

Is it wrong that I choose
to go back to bed so
I can hit snooze?

I've caused myself serious harm
I somehow awoke before my alarm
Did I do some permanent damage?
Only time will tell.

Get up early and start the day.

That's what my mom would say

Return and try to sleep some more

That's the path I shan't ignore.

Why get up without a reason.

I've 10 more minutes to sleep.

Why get up without a reason

I've a schedule to keep.

It's not wrong that I choose

to return to bed so

I can hit snooze.

I somehow awoke before the alarm

My entire being knows it's wrong

So just to not do serious harm

I'm going back to bed.

No, No, No

No, No, NO
I don't want to go
I don't want to move
I said NO!

No, No, No
not that sound again
I just went to bed
it's just in my head.


No, No, NO
I don't want to go
I don't want to move
I said NO!

No, No, No
it can't be time to go
why is it so early
did the night just hurry?


No, No, NO
I don't want to go
I don't want to move
I said NO!

No, No, No
morning's here again
early's not my friend
does it ever end?


No, No, NO
I don't want to go
I don't want to move
I said NO!

No, No, No

guess I have to go

better work than no

glad I've some place to go

It's the Last Work Day of the Week

The alarm sounds

My eyes look around

darkness surrounds

I reach out and hit the button

silence abounds

Eyes closed

not quite asleep

hope holds

but then the beep

I open my eyes

and realize

the day beckons

Yawn, Stretch

stick out a toe

groan, moan

I don't want to go

Whining and complaining

won't make it so

Get up, Get going you wretch

Shower, dress, eat

Now you're on your feet

Horn honks, cars creep

mentally murder

other drivers on the street

slow drive

but you arrive

It's the last work day of the week

You will survive.
