When you woke up this morning, I'll bet you thought "Hooray!"

Because you probably heard the rumor that I'd be out again today.

Sorry, but you're out of luck. My plane got in this morning.

I've had no sleep, and you know what that means (I thought I'd give fair warning).

I'll be grumpy and in a mood. But, hey! That's nothing new.

No sleep just means there's one more reason for me to yell at you!

C'mon admit it. You missed it. That wonderful, melodic sound.

The grating, screeching echo as my voice bounces all around.

After all, you must enjoy it. Why else would you behave the way you do?

It's our little tradition, you bug me with your noise, and I yell at you,

But one thing you might consider, if you do your Morning Work quietly, without a peep,

I'm so tired this morning, I just might fall asleep!
