THE ALARM SYMPHONY
by Julia WIlson

As my eyes awake my alarm goes off,

I try to turn over and go back to bed but
when I do, the alarm says.....

I turn it off and stare into the night,
All I have on is a little light,

I hear moving, Someone's up stairs,
Or is it a little mouse,?
WHO CARES!
As I listen with careful ears I hear,
Another alarm clock down here,

While another one goes off up there,

It's like time, the director,
And the sounds, it's band,

As it plays it's symphony in the night land!
