                               The Alarm Clock

    

          Loud and bossy I hate that thing                              

     That foul alarm clock with its brutish ring

     I'm looking forward to the day I retire
     That’s the day I set a clock on fire
 
     I normally try not to be so mean
     But I swear that alarm clock is a philistine.
     If it were an animal it would be dead
     Because I’d shoot that thing right in its head
 
     By the time that Sunday rolled around
     It would be six feet underground
     On Sunday morning my week doth hinge
     That’s the morning I get sweet revenge
 
     It hollers out and I just laugh
     Cuz I’m already up and had my bath
     It buzzes and rattles and has a fit
     But that doesn’t bother me one bit
 
     Its Sergeant Carter, I’m Gomer Pyle
     It screams at me and I just smile
     Actually I sing and dance and mock
     That loud indignant evil clock
 
     My wife shakes her head and hits the snooze
     My daughter wonders if I’m on booze
     I’m getting ready for Sunday School
     With joy in my heart, I won the duel
 
     To this one verse may all God’s faithful cling
      O’Clock where is thy victory, O alarm thy sting
