The Alarm Clock

I want an alarm clock. . I want it to ring when I need to get up, I want it to ring when I have to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, I want it to ring when I need to stare into the skies, I want it to ring when I need to call my dear ones, I want it to ring when I need to dream, I want it to ring when I need to wake up to reality, I want it to ring when I have to plunge into the water, I want it to ring when I ought to get to the prayer hall, I want it to ring when I need to wash the car, I want it to ring when I have no stock of groceries, I want it to ring when my blood boils, I want it to ring when my temper no longer holds, I want it to ring when I am disoriented, I want it to ring when I know not what I am doing, I want it to ring when I need to make coffee, I want it to ring when I can let people read me, I want it to ring when I need to talk to myself, I want it to ring when I want it to ring, I want an alarm clock. . .
