Why I Will Not Get Out of Bed
Why I Will Not Get Out of Bed
My alarm clock went off at 7:30.
We were on a two hour delay, no need to hurry.
My stomach was growling due to an intense hunger,
But, I was exhausted! I needed my slumber!
I peeked through my window, hoping to see the snow.
The sight was disappointing, I hung my head low.
The atmosphere around me was warm and comforting,
“How long can I stay here in my bed?” my mind was wondering.
I was slowly drifting back to sleep,
When my alarm sounded again with a large BEEP!
It was a reminder that I would soon have to depart
From my cozy bed and my day must start.
My feet began to touch the floor,
When the sheets grabbed me back for more.
I could feel the dizziness in my head.
I heard the sheets calling, and they said
“Hey, please don’t go away.
I’m getting rather lonely, I want you to stay.”
I refused the invitation, though it seemed exciting.
I began my day, now I’m here typing.
