Gettin' Up Blues

GETTIN' UP BLUES

Late last night,
I hit the sack,
My brain was tired,
Eyes were red.

Asleep I went,
With greatest of ease,
Curled myself up,
Held my knees.

Rudely awakened,
By my alarm,
Turned it off,
Worked like a charm.

Rolled myself over,
Went back to sleep,
Awoke much later,
Was all in a heap.

Alert with a start,
I bumped my head,
It was much later,
So I jumped out of bed.

I stared in my mirror,
Was that really me?
With eyes half open,
I could barely see.

Around I got me,
Sluggish at best,
Washed my face,
And then got dressed.
