The Early Morning Reveille

This marks the challenge of getting out of bed in a jiffy in the mornings.


Wakey! Wakey!

Slow on the uptake
Half conscious sloth like
Eyes half closed,
it just tugged on the nerves

Can we have a semblance of authority here?

No, they are still at it, not hearing
continuing with their forty winks, surfing
freely Santa-like, smoothly gliding

It was tortuous, a Spartan journey
the round of festivities are over,
the goodies of Raya no more
It has been days since they last appeared
duit Raya givers had virtually disappeared

This is the hour of reckoning,
the head is spinning
Just got to get up,
may be late for solat

Up sleepy head, the new school term is here!
