Alarm Clock Junkie

He woke up
Each morning
To the clamor
Of an electric rooster
Annoying him awake.
He hated
The infernal device
With a passion,
And entertained
An idle fantasy
Of someday blowing
It to pieces
With a blast
Of buck shot,
But fortunately
For the clock,
It had become
A necessary evil.
Without its commotion,
He would never
Have made it
To work on time.
