Slipped Up
Coffee, coffee, coffee
That’s all she needed
Mop the floors, wash the bath, make the bed
A chant that kept her sane
But that bed looked awfully comfortable
She dared herself not to go anywhere near it
Oh man, the California King was calling her name
“Aurora, Aurora!”
She looked away as she dusted the dresser
Her head was in a bit of a mess-er
She yawned and knew that it was a stupid fight
The bed was there for her so she could sleep through the night
The pillow felt oh so fluffy
It would only be a few minutes in the comfy bed
Tick, tock, her boss found her sleeping on the job
“Get up, sleeping beauty!”
She awoke with a hurry as she scurried
Out of the room and into a coma
Where she slipped and figured out this would be a great moment
For sleep, of course
