Should've known the day was Hell
when we woke up to fire.
The sun poured in
and burnt my dreams--
and what a day it would sire.
Bitten were you,
Bugged was I,
and we both stared,
disgusted;
I sprayed the poison
'cross the shelves
until our comfort rusted.
Toss the clothes and shake your boots--
Six legs cannot be trusted.
So much for my lovely morning
of sluggish limbs and HBO;
Terror strikes, we're late again,
Racing to the Steed, we go.
Hours slug, as they do at work
when you live the day for lunch;
one sweet hour to be with Babe,
to talk, relax, and munch.
At the strike of five the race is on
to accomplish, conquer, relax;
3 hours later (and a paycheck gone)
I face homework in piles and stacks.
Deadlines, due dates--THE INTERNET IS OUT AGAIN?!
Frustration and a deep breath later,
the conquest of the killer reds
seems trivial to This killer equation--
Maybe I can snag an A with a bit of sweet persuasion.
So much for the early trip
to the land of dreams and Z's.
Perhaps I ought to stay awake and gaurd,
For the killer reds might charge and seize.
