I'm extra sleepy this morning. I just can't seem to wake.

Even after my cup of coffee (I guess it didn't take).

I wanted nothing more this morning than to pull the covers up to my chin,

hit the "snooze" on the alarm clock, and go back to sleep again.

But, being a responsible adult, and not wanting to get fired,

I dragged myself to work today, even though I'm tired!

You have Computer Lab today, maybe then I'll take a nap.

Whew! Just now my eyes were closing, when, from the door, I heard a rap!

Not a rap like "fitty cent", but a rap like a thump or knock.

It was just students walking past . . .Oh man! It's eight o'clock!

The Morning Work isn't uploaded yet, I haven't made my copies!

And I sit here like Dorothy and her pals lying in a field of poppies!

Panic hits! There's an energy surge. The sleepiness finally leaves.

I have lots of work to do, so I roll up both my sleeves

and finish my jobs, in the nick of time. that was close, for goodness sake!

But the worst part of all, when I go to bed tonight, THEN I'll be wide awake.
