Alarming - Collaboration

` Once up early Full of pep Out the door And down the step But that was then And this is now Later on I’ll wonder how Now they‘re ruthless just can’t do them Yawning, cranky past my prime Set the clock To something different Let me sleep Till dinner time for contest COLLABORATION sponsored by Line Gauthier

I love the humor, the wit and the quickness of it as the lines sprint from start to finish. I wrote for this too but my lines are long, though in my defense I did not even think to try brevity. This is already a winner as far as I'm concerned. Perfectly poetically precise! Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks so much my friend. Just my take on the contest, I guess I was just too tired to write a long one. :)
