My Clock Is Broken

Why in the HELL can I not get up in the morning?
and why would anyone want to?
put aside the dramatic sunrise
and what do you have?

A headache from too much fun
20 minutes to get ready for work
oh, and then there's WORK
and Republicans driving 40 in a 65

You ever notice how slow republicans drive?

I am not a morning person
I like tacos at 3am
the quiet is mine 
the sky much more interesting

You ever notice how much better you look at nite?

Great title! I pull all nighters all the time, pounding away at my PC. That way those damn republicans CAN'T get in my way! Cute poem Kimmy! Best wishes, Keith (PS a word of explanation about 'Auf Wiedersehen.' It's a phrase that means farewell, (we will see each other again), not goodbye... imagine two lovers waking up on Monday morning and having to go to work. They know they will be back in each others' arms in just a few hours... I hope that clarifies it! Best wishes, Keith
