Who Invented the Snooze Button?

tick tock tick tock tick beep beep beep
blerrggghh snooze tock tick tock 
knock knock knock hurrghhh
ding dong ding dong beep beep beep beep beep

then silence except for the tweet tweet tweet of a bird on the windowsill.

why can't dreams last forever?
it's not too much to ask that i be left alone is it?
i just want to be alone nowadays

but then again why do i set the alarm?

Cute one, DAniel. I don't believe in snooze buttons. Who can sleep knowing they are gonna come right back on? I just get up when the dang alarm clock rings! I use a wind up one, I hate high tech.hahaha. thanks for commenting to my blog. LUv, andrea
