Monday Morning Blues

I can hear my brother howl,

A warning quite apart,

It’s a way of alerting me,

That the week’s off to a start.

Then this thing comes over me,

My legs just sort of freeze,

I become deaf to the alarm,

And my mom’s “WAKE UP, PLEASE!”

It’ll take a thousand men,

To drag me from here to there,

Just dunk my head in water

If I start snoring anywhere.

I make various mistakes,

I’ll need someone to check

If the shoes are on my hands or feet,

Or if the belt’s around my neck!

We have to hurry to the bus,

We can’t be late today!

Prop me straight on to a seat,

I’ll start dozing right away.

I know it’s not just me alone,

I mean, take a look at you!

I guess both of us are suffering

The Monday Morning Blues!
