Daybroke

Daybroke

Hey! now the day dawis;

The jolly cock crawis;

Now shrouds the shawis

Thro' Nature anon.

                                           ---A.M.

Oh, dear! Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Mornin's nearly almost here;

The dawn's come well-nigh almost broke.

Stew early for a self-voir dire,

Stew soon to have awoke.

I try too hard to think

For I've not slept one wink.

The TV's on the friggin' blink

The while I sit upon my rear.

The frigid ground around's

Succumbed to surface frost

By spreading leaps and outward bounds;

The set-sailed day comes so far lost,

I quite profoundly fear.

Oh, dear! Oh, dear, oh, dear.

The thissel-cock cryis

On lovers who lyis:

Now skaillis the skyis;

The nicht is neir gone.
