Bound and Gagged by Dana Summers for October 01, 2024

Insomniacs.

I thought they used Early Worm Alarm Services.

Just set the alarm to “Rooster crowing”, and eliminate the middleman, er, hen.

That’s alarming.

Clock-a-doodle-do.

There is a family that lives a couple of houses away from me and they have a chicken coop. The resident rooster is constantly crowing, no matter the time of day. I don’t know if he’s confused, or if he’s letting everyone know that he just mated with one of the chickens.

By light.

If they keep doing that, they’ll chicken out.

If I find my dog’s alarm clock I’ll move the time back an hour, or if I can’t do that I’ll bust the thing.

Is that huge alarm clock behind you a clue? The mystery is solved, thank you!!!

Can you adjust the wake up for a little later, about 3 hours later.

Put me in mind of my wife’s late uncle. Many years ago we were watching an old movie clip featuring Irving Berlin’s Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning, one of his favorite songs. He asked me, if it’s the job of the bugler to wake the other soldiers, who would wake the bugler? I was somewhat clueless about military matters, and didn’t know the answer. “The sentry,” Uncle Phil informed me.

Anymore my cats wake me as they want breakfast and to their annoyance I go outside first and feed the chickens and open the coop door. Sometimes, they (the chickens) give me this stunned look like “Is it that time already?”
