Hostel Blues

The alarm rang loud and clear,

Awakening me from a sleep dear

Averse to raise my sloppy frame,

Out of the bed and face the game

The warden makes her usual round,

To check on us without a sound

And catch the lazy ones in slumber,

Growing day by day in number

The study time at dawn,

Tempts you back to bed at morn

Meditating on books in a row,

With dreams for a cinema show

Physics at morn can be devastating,

So also Chemistry and its balancing

I’d rather read a story book,

In a fictional world for me to hook

While I daydream afore my book,

Am startled as a thunder shook

Waking up to the sound of rain,

Pounding on the window pane
