Waking Up

Say three alarms are set for waking dour
Eight-ten, fifteen, and half the early hour
Upon the sounding first the thing to do
Is not to cancel both the other two

It happened so that happened this today
One wheezy 'larm was rung while snug I lay
My strength enough to cease the ringing noise
Was not enough to alter supine poise

And thus I slept après 'larm and avant
For dozing thus would hence past sleeping want
Forgotten schedule lay for time aside
As eyelids claimed the sleep alarm denied

The sleepy comfort of the bed' demand
Thus waged a war with daily duties planned
