When the Alarm Clock Rings

When you hear that alarm clock ring, 
be prepared to get up and swing. 
If not, you could be in bed all day. 
The morning will quickly pass away. 
At work, the boss can get annoyed. 
Get up and out before you're unemployed.

Inspired by another member's poem.

Very witty. It's been years since I have had to wake up to an alarm clock.

Hi Robert; Happy new Year. I like this poem. I never had to use an alarm clock. I guess I was already programed. Thanks for sharing. Lucilla
