Gershon Wolf Poet Limerick

The Great Alarm Clock Scam

A singular failure is the alarm
  When used to late morning sleepers disarm
     For as soon as it rings
     They turn off the damn thing
  And don't wake up 'til work's done on the farm

Marikate Kingston June 15, 2023 at 4:09 PM Gershon, I set the alarm on my cellphone. When it rings I feel 1/2 alive. Grabbing it from my bedside table to shut it off, it bangs to the floor. A sign to go back to sleep as it has landed under the bed : ) That darn cell phone.

Shirley Hawkins June 15, 2023 at 12:10 AM It's fatal to switch it off too soon, especially if you are a bad sleeper and you have only just gone to sleep.

Michael Tor June 14, 2023 at 11:00 PM Lol so true this is my friend. Sometimes the purpose is defeated by a change of plans.I know I have been guilty of that. Thank God for the wife, you can't turn her off. lol
