I awaken at the same time, almost every day.

But it seems like it takes an hour or two, before the sleepiness goes away!

I cannot see, or even think. Nothing makes much sense.

I'm sleepy and I'm grumpy and I feel a little dense.

I can't see colors very well (are these pants brown or green?).

Sometimes I pick color combinations that just should not be seen!

But, somehow I manage to get dressed and head out of the door,

still in need of a pick-me-up; a little something more.

A cup of coffee helps a bit. But, still, that's not enough.

I get to school in a haze and I'm feeling pretty rough.

I upload Grammar Giggles and Morning Math (which I should have done last night,

but I'm afraid you might do the work at home, and that just isn't right)!

To fight away these morning blahs, today I tried something new.

I added a Science question for all of you to view.

But, all my efforts go for naught. My head's a fog-filled ball.

I have to snap out of this. The students are waiting in the hall!

That was it! My head has cleared! Now I'm wide awake.

And I now know what my problem was, it's so simple, for goodness sake!

No matter how sleepy or tired I was, now I feel right as rain.

When you arrived, my blood pressure went up, and blood flowed back to my brain!

Bonus joke:

What did the Gingerbread man put on his bed?
