Knock, Knock

Someone's at my kitchen door I hear them gently knock But it really is quite early I look glumly at the clock Who could be there waiting Who would be about I haven't had my coffee yet It makes me want to shout They must still be standing there Again I hear them knock I can't open the door like this It would give them quite a shock I haven't had my shower yet And my hair is everywhere I've just hurried out of bed I'm looking kind of bare I wish that they'd be gone from here Once more I hear a knock Why can't they just walk away Or drive around the block Oh, but now I'm wide awake And it's clear they're here to stay So I guess I'll quickly dress myself ...Welcome to my day

I know what a dilemna that is to have someone come before one is ready for the day. Hope you got your coffee. Congratulations on your placement. Love, Joyce
