Today I woke up and hour too late
to blinking clock screens and a ringing phone.
With the power out I did not awake,
and my job wondered why I was home.
In the car I reached up to scratch my nose,
and I could feel that my nose ring was gone.
I wondered how long it would take to close
Was anything else left that could go wrong.
I dashed into work fifteen minutes late;
I thought I could sit and relax at last,
but suddenly as my breakfast I ate
I knocked over my cup with a great splash.
No alarm clock, nose ring, or diet coke?
I felt like the punchline of a bad joke.
