Alarm Clock

Two nights in a row, 

no day nor sunrise.

No, nothing but peace-

sleep and closed eyes.

No demanding school, 

or rude awakenings.

Just some well-deserved rest

and mental vacationing.

Oh, the wonder

of no BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!

Louder and louder,

disturbing my sleep.

Yet there is is again, that

BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!

I fear the night is over,

no more counting sheep.

I roll out of bed,

my alarm clock shall pay-

And then I learn with a shock,

What?! It's Saturday?!
