My alarm clock doesn’t ring on Sunday
so I lie still and try to snooze
But Mamma always told me
when ya snooze, ya looze
And even now I cannot quite
bring myself to sleep past seven
But Gawd I’d love just once
to not wake up ‘til eleven
But there’s eggs to fry and bacon, too
and the Sunday comics to read
There’s coffee to brew and toast to burn
and a bunch of kids to feed
My alarm knows when to be quiet
and just once I’d like to stay
Cuddled up in bed with my nice warm guy
but those danged kids get in the way
And he’s already up, Sunday paper in hand
waiting to be served his bacon and eggs
While the dog watches for a few crumbs to drop
and the cat winds himself ‘round my legs
… it’s no use, I give up, it’s hopeless

I hear ya, Sweetie. It's so wonderful to wake up without an alarm...but often, the rest of the world just won't let you sleep, no matter what. Moxie. Yeahhh, you've got it, Lady. Good luck in the contest.
