That Dreaded Beep

by *Charisma*   Dec 4, 2006


I'd love to throw it at the wall
Hit it every time it calls
Scream at it for being there
Angry 'cause it doesn't care

Wakes me from sleeps embrace
To bring me to this dreadful place
Tells me work is coming fast
And this hour just won't last

I hit one button to make it hush
But because of that I'm in a rush
If only I'd listened to it's beep
Instead of going back to sleep

Wrinkled clothes and mismatched socks
Don't talk about my horrid locks
Coffee breath that gum won't hide
Stuck in traffic, hate this ride

The boss is furious that I'm late
Work's piled up, and for me waits.
No breakfast in my stomach sits
And with this work, lunch I'll miss

That stupid beep rings in my head
"You should have gotten out of bed."
Don't think I'll sleep in again
Why must that alarm always win?

    This is great...and so true. I've even had dreams about that dreaded alarm clock only to wake up to it's sound! You did a good job with this one!
