Yeah, I know I went all "over used saying" in the title I have displaying. But we aren't going down the typical lane today with that. If you are slow you deserve to lose to a cat. That is just typical anyway for you always lose to the cat at this bay. I may gloat too much. But someone has to and such. Now on with the show. You humans really are not in the know.
Let's build a clock.
Big revelation, such a shock.
It will tell time.
Wow, you are in your prime.
Wait, that has been done.
Let's have some fun.
We can put an extra button on it.
This will surely be a hit.
We will call it snooze.
Pass me some more booze.
Oh that hit the spot.
Don't you think this will be hot?
After all at each house,
When all are sleeping like a mouse.
They idiots set their alarms early,
Then they can hit the button all squirrely.
Instead of setting it,
Not like a nitwit.
At the time they want to get up.
And go fill their coffee cup.
Let's make no point in the alarm.
What could be the harm?
They just raise their arm,
And stay on the funny farm.
A few minutes more,
They want to snore.
Waking up to turn it off.
Giving them enough time to scoff.
Then it will go off once more.
Same old encore.
Until finally they grumble,
And out of bed they stumble.
Oh this will be a hit.
Surely not a money pit.
But might cause some strife.
Just another dumb habit in life.
When all one needs to do.
Is set it for the time that's true.
That way no button to hit,
And no morning fit.
You get up when you are supposed to.
Not hitting on button on cue.
Makes little sense,
Boy, you humans are dense.
But I suppose that is always the way.
Now go enjoy your day.
While the cat goes back to sleep.
And you sit at work counting sheep.
Wasn't that fun? It just so had to be done. For it is something that does make little sense and proves humans are so dense. The cat wins once more with his encore. Now go pass some gas, that will wake you and your lass. It may be a bit crass. But that is nothing new for my little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.

oh how nice it would be
ReplyDeleteto wake up gently at my sea
no need for alarm, maybe
it could give a gentle shake
or release the smell of cokies bake-
ing, instead of something
that feels like getting hit by a rake
True that would be grand
DeleteTo the smell of beach sand
Or something better than a damn beep or ring
That just makes you want to take it and give it a fling
And didn't even brag about your burst
That is a first haha
How about a coffee pot?
DeleteYes, my idea rocks!
Hmm you already have that
DeleteSo technically it is a fact and not idea from your mat
I actually saw a farting alarm clock in a mail order catalogue one time. Dang, I knew I should have bought that thing!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL well if it actually does smell
DeleteI'll hand them out as christmas gifts at my cell
I'm with you on the snooze button thing Pat, they are kind of dumb. Like you say, instead of setting it at a time that'll allow plenty more snoozes, why not just set it later and then get up? That way they'll have plenty more healing, uninterrupted sleep.
ReplyDeleteYeah makes more sense to do
DeleteBut then if one can't sleep at their zoo
It doesn't really matter anyway
Still heave the alarm clock in the bay
Alarm clocks are passe'
ReplyDeleteI use a cellphone at my bay
but basically I wake with the sun
it's ever so much more sun
so in summer I'm up very early
though this could make me surly
in winter taking cue from a bear
I am a bit later in my lair.
Enjoy your day
before autumn goes away!
Yeah I use my watch
DeleteBeats some scotch
The sun makes it easier to wake
As one can go to the lake
Winter on the other hand
Makes you want more sand
To stay asleep
Rather deep
Oh, I've done worse. I've set my clock so that it's looked like I was getting up at 5:30 am instead of 5 am. But it started getting confusing, and I had to switch my clock back to the real time.
ReplyDeleteSome days I hit snooze and not even realize it. I really hate that. :P
haha yeah that is the worst
DeleteHitting it once it gives its burst
And not even knowing
I too set it 10 minutes or so ahead with its time showing
The Mister does something worse.
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to curse.
He sets the clock 10 minutes ahead
so he doesn't run late and all that dread.
But he KNOWS it's not the right time.
I just think it's a crime.
Before I knew, I thought I was late
then he explained the weird idea on his plate.
Geesh! lol....
LMAO it's a good idea though
DeleteAnd one I use too at my show
Watch, car clock and bedside clock are all 10 minutes ahead
Does that cause you dread? haha
It does not cause me dread.
DeleteBut I am shaking my head.
I want my clock at the correct time
and not try to play a trick on my own mind.
lol....
haha but it is always the correct time somewhere
DeleteJust not at your lair
hahahah. i dont have issues with alarms. i usually wake up on my own around 8am. i go to work around 10am. but now i'm job free so it's screwing up my 8am routine and making me lazy. i'm not off bed till 10am or 11am!!
ReplyDeleteMust be nice to do
DeleteI'd be lazy too
If only I could quit
And 10 geez that would be nice for a bit
Waking up early is a habit
ReplyDeleteAn alarm clock is still required
Hit snooze then ok to the beat
No bother even if you're tired
Hank
Yeah I always wake up without one
DeleteBut smashing it can be fun
And sometimes must be done
If you don't want the thing to run
how did some of the blogs I was following turninto poetry blogs?
ReplyDeleteJust lucky I guess
DeleteCome now confess
I saw a clock that flew up and hovered if set to alarm
ReplyDeleteThat would be fun to wake up the farm
Yeah that would be fun to see
DeleteMight scare the kitty
I did wake up
ReplyDeletewith radio song,
so there no use
of snooze or gong.
Another good: for my background
I would wake up with sea waves sound...
Sea waves would be nice
DeleteAnd with the song one has to roll the dice
Could be crap
And ruin your nap
Somehow I don't feel as if this rhyme is going to help me get to work on time!! (I totally didn't mean to rhyme right there!! Damn cat is rubbing off on me...)
ReplyDeleteLMAO nothing can help you get to work on time
DeleteAnd now that you rhyme you can do away with your love for the mime
so true, there is actually a support group in dublin for snoozers!
ReplyDeleteWow they have a support group for everything
DeleteEven for the snooze ring
I used to set my alarm to same tune as my cellphone, later the ring started to give me creeps. So, now I have tone different from my normal ring and I keep the alarm far away so that I cant hit snooze button. I use my bedroom tv to wake me up. Refreshing news about shootings and rape sure is the way to break your dawn.
ReplyDeleteHmm now sure how refreshing that would be
DeleteBut would sure wake up me
Keeping it far away
Is also a good idea so you can't turn off its display
Autumn and winter just kills me, because now, instead of waking up to the beautiful sunset, I wake up and it's pitch black. My body insists that it's not time to get up at that point, and based on how many times I hit that snooze button, I'm starting to think it's onto something.
ReplyDeleteYeah that is pretty much the same here
DeleteAs stupid winter kicks into gear
Hermit status is on the rise
Until the sun once more flies
I've never understood the point of the snooze button, either!
ReplyDeleteYep there is no point
DeleteExcept to make one smack things at their joint
ha...the snooze button is my greatest friend...and biggest enemy..smiles
ReplyDeleteYep, two sides of a coin for some
DeleteCan annoy my little rhyming bum
Cats have the right idea about sleep: sleep, stretch, glare derisively at the world about him, turn over, sleep some more.
ReplyDeletehaha yeah that is such the life
DeleteFull of sleep and little to no strife
Pat! It's been awhile since I've had a browser that will let me comment on people's posts, but i've definitely enjoyed the fact that you seem to have an endless supply of rhymes. You must be getting to the point where almost everything you think of starts to rhyme!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finally back to form
DeleteI never knew that wasn't the norm
Just figured you were busy and all
Over at your hall
And yep rhymes just flow
As the posts grow
Humans are dumb. Cat has the right idea.
ReplyDeleteCat likes that
DeleteI'll send you a juicy rat
long night at work...I slept in this morning. I open up blogger, see your post title, realize I wasted my whole morning. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
ReplyDeleteAren't you rude haha
DeleteGlad I could wake you up dude
I dont like alarms neither!
ReplyDeleteYeah they are a pain
DeleteMake one pop a vein
I hate my alarm...so does the dog! Haha...he grumbles more than I do because it makes him jump as much as it does me...hehe...I sually wake up before it goes of Beep, beep, beep so it can't make me jump out of my skin but, some days I miss it and the air turns a bit blue with a swear word or two... Ahem... rhyming I hope you note!~! :)
ReplyDeleteYes I always take note
DeleteWhen I rhyme comes and you got my vote
Bloody hell gets a ring
And sure for the dog those beeps must sting
NOW
ReplyDeleteA watch the clock became.
And that is not the same.
Day’s work became a strain
conception just a pain.
We all are in a stock.
Now; better was the clock.
If not for the shock
DeleteOf the said clock
Could start off without a grumble
And less of a stumble
But then with no pain
I guess there is no gain
That is in fact quite true.
DeleteWithout a pain will you,
to safe to ever rock,
envision watch - not clock.
:-)
Unclench the fist
DeleteThe strap it on your wrist
And let go
Finding time truly does flow
I hate the alarm clock but I can't wake up now without it ~
ReplyDeleteSo, I set it up for a nice music, soothing to listen to ..he..he..
Wishing you Good night Pat ~
Well music beats the beep beep beep
DeleteOr waking up to some talk show creep
Ugh... Somedays I need 4 different alarm clocks to get myself out of the bed...
ReplyDeleteWow that is a ton
DeleteMust gives your ears a ring and not sound fun
I'm looking for a clock with a booze button.
ReplyDeleteThen you could wake up drunk
DeleteTo some kind of funk
I wish I needed an alarm clock, but I don't as I wake up the same time every morning. And so I don't need a snooze button.
ReplyDeleteThat is good though
DeleteI usually can do that at my show
