Listen to poem:
Time To Face It, My Demon Collaboration
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.
