What Time Is It?

Have you ever had one those days When you just couldn't get out of bed? Your snooze alarm keeps going off And your eyelids feel like lead "Just five more minutes" you tell yourself You know that's all it will take But that, somehow, turns into twenty-five Before you start to wake Then, you finally find the energy To face the coming day You stumble to the bathroom While mumbling along the way You take your morning shower Make sure your teeth are brushed You check to see if the seat is down And all your business flushed You finally get your morning coffee Your eyeslids now free from lead You check to see if the dog needs out Before you even comb your head You head out toward the driveway And crawl into the car That sound still drives you crazy That says your door's ajar You fight the morning traffic As you're finally on your way Embarrassment overwhelms you As you realize, it's saturday Any similarities to persons alive or dead are purely coincidental No Alarm clocks were harmed during the writing of this poem
