Poem by Caleb Roupp "We Wake Up When?"

We Wake Up When?

“Time to survey!” the morning person said
Grumble, said her partner
and wished he was in bed

“This scenery’s amazing, even in the dark!”
SNORE, said her partner
Twas all he could remark

“I don’t remember, do we turn left or right?”
Snnnk-hnnnh, said her partner
And dreamed that it was night

“What music should we listen to, Country-Western, Rock?”
Meh! said her partner
His head felt like a block

“C’mon, lighten up! Sure it’s only five”
nggghhh! said her partner
Not feeling quite alive

At 6:15 they finally arrived
Warming with activity
Her partner began to thrive

The usual morning question, “Who will survey first?”
“I’ll do it,” said her partner
“I’ve got it well rehearsed.”

“Good morning!” said her partner
“I’m with the SCA
Might I take just a few minutes of your day?”
SNORE! said his partner
She’d faded clean away
