Here's The Deal...

6:39

Ah, it's the best part of the day
When at night, your head down you lay!
Visions of sugarplums dance in your head...
Oh crap I had just jacked that line from that book I had read...

Anyways, I like to sleep...
I like it at night when you don't hear a peep!
Just the warmth of the blanket, the soft of the bed
And the occasional poke from a feather in my bed...

But even that's ok...cause sleeping rocks...
It rocks almost as much as prettiful socks!
Away from the bullies and hurt and misery
Away from the stress and the pressures of life...
Away from worries, away from strife!

But then like a bullhorn sounding in your hear
Along comes your most dreaded fear...
The alarm clock is yelling "Get yo' tail out the bed!!!
And go in the world that you so often dread!"
"NO!!!", you scream, "It can't be time!!!"
The clock says "It is time, it's 6:39!!!"
You fight the urge to call in sick,
You fight the urge to beat the clock with a stick...

You get out of bed with much disdain,
And head into a world of material gain...
And then the cycle happens again...
Tiredness, misery, relief at the end of the day,
Family time, eating, TV, and then "YAY!"
...it's time to sleep!

But always lurking in the back of your mind...
Is the bullhorn that sounds at 6:39...

Amen.
