I fell asleep in class today

as I was awfully bored

I laid my head upon my desk

and closed my eyes and snored

I woke to find a piece of paper

sticking to my face

I’d slobbered on my textbooks

and my hair was a disgrace

My clothes were badly rumpled

and my eyes were glazed and red

My binder left a three-ring

indentation in my head

I slept through class, and probably

I would have slept some more

except my students woke me

as they headed out the door
