The rest of the year, sleeping in until the alarm, 6AM, is normal, easily obtainable
Now, I awaken, stretch, warm and comfortable
Roll over, still dark, miles to go before I wake, bliss
And – chirp
Chirp
{cringe} please no…
CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP, CHIRP 
Cacophony, nails on a chalkboard
I swear there’s 10, or maybe 100,000 birds outside and they’re all on my windowsill
And fortheloveofGodit’s5AM
Maybe I can still salvage some time, chirp, chirp
Chirp, now they’re just laughing at me
Woof.  WOOF.  WOOF!
Sure, who doesn’t let their crazy hound outside to chase squirrels before the sun is up.
WOOF WOOF!  Let’s pretend that you can’t hear that because everyone else in the neighborhood certainly can
WOOF!
Serenity Now!!!
Just then, the sun snakes its warm tendrils gently around the edges of the curtain and STABS me right in the eyeball
Hi there, you awake yet?  Seriously?
It’s a beautiful day.  I’m sure it will be nicer later, once I’m out of bed
chirp, woof, light, noise, snuggly dog’s nails digging into my back, chirp
shut up, Shut Up, SHUT UP
-beep, beep, beep
Sigh
