The Twins

(A/n: This is a poem that I was forced to write by my English teacher last year and she submitted it to a Barnes and Noble poetry contest in which I won honorable mention! I was so excited b/c writing for me is a guilty pleasure, something I do for me and only I read my works usually. But I figure that if the judges thought it was great, then it must be kinda okay for you guys to read. So enjoy (hopefully)!)

Old enough to be terrors

But young enough to not understand

Six in the morning is not a time to be up

When you are three years old

But undoubtedly, undeniably, unavoidably

They call my name in the morning

They are up all hours of the night

Bashing away at all kinds of toys

No matter what hour they go to bed

Six in the morning is their wake up time

And undoubtedly, undeniably, unavoidably

They call my name in the morning

They go through the day with endless energy

While I drag on through school, fighting fatigue

Six in the morning is not a good time for me to wake up

When I have to study Algebra 2 and the history of the world

And undoubtedly, undeniably, unavoidably

They call my name in the morning

My noisy little neighbors are really caring

They wouldn't want me to miss the bus in the morning

What if my alarm clock failed to wake me?

Maybe they are just trying to assure my awakening?

And undoubtedly, undeniably, unavoidably

They call my name in the morning
