Soliloquy Assignment

To Snooze or not to Snooze

To Snooze or not to Snooze…To snooze or not to snooze – that is the question:Whether ’tis easier to rise on timeAnd face the harsh light of early day,Or to stay huddled under the quilt,And, by hiding, avoid the rays.To rise, to hit the snooze button—No more – and by rising to say I faceThe early-morning preparations for the eventsThat each day holds—’Tis a situationI do not wish to face.

To snooze, to sleep—To sleep, perhaps too long. Ay, there’s the problem,For in oversleeping what events may come aboutWhen we are hiding from the alarm’s harsh callMust make us stop and think.That’s the ideaThat makes disaster of sleeping in.For who really wants to face the 6 a.m. sun,The first period’s quiz,The morning person’s obnoxious cheeriness,The disappointment in decaffeinated coffee,The dance class’s early rehearsals,The overly chipper song of the early bird,And the cold looksThat early-risers send in my late-sleeping direction,When they too may sleep inOn weekends free from tribulations?

Who would heed the alarm’s early call,To squint and yawn through the first hours of the day,But that the horror that something may be missed

while dozing,The unknown events that have occurred whichThe gossips discussWhile we stand in a confused daze,Wishing we had risen on timeInstead of seeking those futile thirty minutes?Thus the chance of missing out does make early risers

of us all,And thus the bliss of sleeping inIs tainted by eye-opening thoughts of lost news,And peaceful moments of dreams and sleepWith this regard their paths are cut shortAnd lose the dark in favor of the harsh light.
