A Poem for Your Sprog

An email sat unread, alone
For less than half an hour
Before I woke inside my home
My groggy mood turn'd sour

For it had been a week or more
Since last I'd had good sleep
From school to work to countless chores
I crumbled in a heap

But then, as bagels toasted brown
And water boiled slow
To laptop's glimmer I glanced down
And gasping, I said "NO!"

"No way I'm waking, it's too good
To be but all a dream"
But happy news true nature stood
And all was at it seemed

Appointment offer, there within
Has offered me a rank
I wake my parents, and they grin
To them I give my thanks

My course is set, my papers in
But one thing haunts me still
If hardship fails to do me in
My firstie sister will!

Nice poem. I can't wait to hear it again on I-Day.

Seriously though, congrats!

I can't wait until I can quote your great poem, but I'll need to change 'sister' to 'brother'.
