Poetry: Alarm clocks

A buzz, a beep, a ringing bell
That damn loud noise that comes from hell.
It wakes me from a restful slumber
With evil glowing flashing numbers.

What did I do to earn this fate?
Besides stay up an hour late.
My fuzzy brain would like to know
From buried deep in my pillow.

Why can't I wake up to something sweet,
A gentle breeze? A birdie's tweet?
A soft massage or lover's touch?
Oh no, that's asking way too much.

I contemplate my destiny
And how I wasted yesterday
And now must pay the sinner's dues

Ugh, this poem is lame, I'll just hit snooze!

    On time, whether work or play,
    we could not be as such!

    Sound asleep
    Dreaming away
    But that won't last
    There are bills to pay

    The alarm clock sounds
    and away go dreams
    The day begins
