Laying in my bed all cozy and warm, and inside the blankets my kitty cat snores, sweetly captivating birds sing outside my window, and kitty cat pokes her head out and says, M E O W ! Earsplitting and grating my alarm clock is blaring, and my telltale sleepiness is leaving my head, yet, I linger in my bed- snoozing . . . . peacefully, I snuggle deeper into my blankets, until lickety-split, I shoot out of bed, screaming to no one I am LATE! So hell bent and at full tilt I am ready and leave- kitty y a w n s on the bed. ________________________________ April 13, 2018 Poetry/Acrostic/Lickety-Split Copyright Protected, ID 18- 1012- 705-01 All Rights Reserved.

This is clever and delivered soo smoothly. I related to the cat, the cover hunker-down vs. the alarm, all of it, but I will admit that when I over snoozed, I cussed before and after saying, 'I'm gonna be late.' Check your 2nd line cause I know you didn't deliberately type both "the" and "my". Loved it. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I see absolutely nothing that you did wrong, it definitely speaks to the topic of lickety split, more so than many I read, in fact, definitely so. I can't see a thing to worry or not worry about. In my opinion, you nailed it. CayCay

CayCay, thank you for spotting my typo. Well, in truth I do say a few @@%%&& words too but thought it best I leave them out of my poem.
