Better Late Than...

About the Poem

The world divides between early birds, who get up at the crack of dawn full of energy and enthusiasm, and night owls, who could always do with an extra hour in bed in the mornings. Which are you?

I check my watch
It's ten to eight
I must get up
Or I'll be late

I stretch, I yawn
I scratch my head
Perhaps I'll just
Go back to bed
