Awakened by a, NOW DEAD, Neighbor...

Suffice to say do not awaken me anytime, it is not good for anyones health...

AWAKENED BY A, NOW DEAD, NEIGHBOR!


 


I sleep late everyday,


So to be awakened earlier is no big thing,


But on Sunday I find I enjoy sleeping in,


To sleep in I find is no sin,


But some say, you are missing out,


On the best part of the day,


But I feel that the best part,


Is later, so I say, do not disturb,


This sleeping author/poet,


Or you will definitely find out and know it,


I am a freakin’ mother when awakened early,


I am to be found rather surly,


Also I have been known to be rather burly.


 


So keep your distance from my door,


Or I may most certainly and for sure,


Tear out your heart through your personal back door,


That may not make you happy,


But as for me,


I can foresee,


A much happier person I would be,


To be able to sleep in without your,


Constant Sunday disruptions,


Of a sleep cycle I have a hard enough time,


To keep in sync as it is,


So this is the end of this little rhyme,


As the clock does chime,


That it is almost noontime…

I remember too well what a grump you can be
When I knocked on your door too early.
That's when I discovered that your legend
Was nothing more than a shoestring in the wind.

A funny recollection. Scott
