Clock-A-Doodle-Due

***************************************


In the olden days, the big push was on for sayings such as “early to bed and early to rise makes a person wealthy and wise”. Before alarm clocks, folks used all sorts of wakeup devices. When our country was rural, they used early-rising roosters to do the job. However, folks back then did not have computers. We all know how computers tend to keep a body up longer than anticipated in an attempt to get there “fustest with the mostest.” What is needed now is a way for something to stop the “just a few more minutes” routine. How many times have we all been hunkered down in front of our keyboard, saying “just a few more minutes” and before we know it, it’s 3 a.m.


***************************************

 

 

 

 

 

Years ago, we needed

help upon arising:

 

The cock doth crow

To let you know,

If you be wise,

'Tis time to rise.

 

 

 

Now-a-days, we need

help upon retiring:

 

The clock hands know

And surely show,

If you PC be mired,

'Tis time you retired.
