Why

Why do I have to be up before sunrise?
It doesn't make one wealthy or wise.
All this gets me is a jump on my chores.
Plus it seems to me there are more.
Yet, it is beyond me
Why people won't let me be.
Sometimes I am just plain sore
From all the work I did the day before.
How can I be at my best
If I have no rest?
So, please be a sweetie and shut the bedroom
Door
I really don't want you to hear me snore.
