Rude Awakening

No alarm clock has ever been louder
that the one that I woke to this morning.
Its sly operator was much prouder,
and he came without a shred of warning.

As I laid there peacefully asleep
outside my window there was a great crash
accompanied by a series of beeps
and the sounds of a moving pile of trash

To empty the dumpster came the trash truck
and hour before I wanted to wake.
Alas! poor me! what a string of bad luck
that wanted from me all my sleep to take!

The thing that really gave me morning blues
is that this alarm did not have a "snooze"
