Reaching reluctantly for the alarm clock
moanin’ my feet to the floor
Goin’ thru the motions makin’ coffee
in my sleep suckin’ down that first cup
Tryin’ to keep from creepin’ back to bed
with too many Z’s dancin’ in my head
Trudgin’ thru the Monday muddle
getting dressed looking for my missing shoe
My makeup will just have to do
the clock is winning the race again
If I move any slower rigor mortis will set in
My usual Monday moanin’ routine
tryin’ to work up a head of steam
by the time I drag into work
with my yawnin’ smile
My alert is late
looks like I’ll have to wait
until it arrives
behind closin’ eyes

You must have stayed up late for whatever reason last night. Or maybe this is just a typical Monday morning moan.
