Waking up in the morning
is a fright full thing
smelly breath and messy hair
brain not yet working.

There is a blanket on my bed
a comfy pillow to rest my head
it is always a nice treat
when you've been hot on your feet.

On my bed are colourful bed sheets
way better than comfy seats
you can have blankets when its cold
and keep them till they mold.

Lots of things do it
not making a peep
some do snoree really loud
and they can some times bring the house down.

And when it comes morning
I have fits for more sleep
sweet dreams in my head
wakie wakie no no keep countig those sheep!

Please no more I've suffered enough
no get up you have to be tough
oh please oh no anything but that,I like it better a night
no I have to , i am going to turn on the light!

Up and at 'um'
eyes still a waking
and to night i gain
to come back and do it all again.
