I really should be fast asleep

It’s funny, I’m not tired

The night has taken over me

The light of day, expired

 

There’s a spider crawling up my wall
He doesn’t notice me at all

Perhaps he’s uninspired
By the fact that I’m not tired

 

My brain is running on caffeine
It really should be in a dream

Is that truly what I desire?
Cause I’m really not that tired

 

I close my eyes and try to rest

Still, visions dance before me

Why do I even bother?

Now where’s that cup of coffee?

 

Sweet liquid gold is most required
Oh, did I mention I’m not tired?

Could this day be any worse for those

Who awaken in morning, preferring to doze

Only to find out, it’s Monday indeed

The weekend is over, this we concede

But wait, it gets worse, how can that be

Surely this Monday, is pure treachery

Disguised as a start, of things yet to come

We always believe, boy are we feeling dumb

So, on this day, when we all convene

We’ll fill up on baked goods, and tons of caffeine

Show him who’s boss, and should he rebuff

We’ll fire this Monday, enough is enough
