Alarming

by Glenn G   Aug 30, 2018


Each morning I am awakened
By the sound of an alarm set on "Misery"
The snooze button has never worked
The volume button is missing
I cannot remove it's power source

I remember the man
who gave me the receipt for it
asking me if I took it for my own
and I remember saying, "I do"

I just don't remember "why"

    Glenn - this is cuttingly brilliant. Perhaps I shouldn't laugh, but I just had to. I hope someone nominates this - I'm out of votes this week.

    Take care and all the very best,
    Ben
