Time To Face It, My Demon Collaboration Demon one gets you up early cause it's a clock, Device full of pep, and alarming that will shock, That was then, demon two, a bag of fresh coffee, But, this is now when demon three in a bagged tea, How I hate them, pick me no pick me, I am stuck, Early mornings the parade begins, no such luck, Unreasonable demands that soon I must pay, Unyieldingly demanding boss who ruled the day, But I did love them, fixed the clock, and drank them both, Seems so long ago, like two hours, I took the oath, Now they're ruthless neighbor's dog, demon number four, Like tic-tac-toe, I just can't do them anymore, I'm past my prime and out of time, my last demon, Am I sleeping, am I dreaming, am I leaving. 2019 August 25 *2nd Place* PLAY WITH ME ~~Line Gauthier

Thanks Line--head's up on your next contest, I'm clueless to the swagger theme--had to bow out, not even an attempt for not knowing where to start..., ~ William
