I sent this riddle to ten people in my family and others. Note: I normally do not have to awaken to an alarm.
1. On thanksgiving I woke up to my alarm at 10:00 AM. I went downstairs and poured a cup of coffee. It was 9:10. How can that be? ...
2. Five days later, I woke up to my alarm clock at 9:00 and went downstairs to pour a cup of coffee. It was 8:10. What the heck had I not done since the last riddle?
3. I woke up this morning to my alarm clock at 7:10. I went down stairs and poured a cup of coffe. It was 5:15. I don't know whether to laugh or cry... Wish I were still sleeping.
Note: On thanksgiving I realized I had been waking up for nearly a month thinking it was was an hour later than it was.
David Watts (Ray Davies and the KInks):
I am a dull and simple lad
Can not tell water from champagne
And I have never met the queen
And I wish I could have all that he has got
I wish I could be like David Watts
And when I lie on my pillow at night
I dream I could fight like David Watts
Lead the school team to victory
And take my exams and pass the lot
Wish I could be like David Watts
Wish I could be like David Watts
Conduct my life like David Watts
I wish I could be like David Watts
He is the head boy at the school
He is the captain of the team
He is so gay and fancy free
And I wish all his money belonged to me
I wish I could be like David Watts
And all the girls in the neighborhood
Try to go out with David Watts
They try their best but can't succeed
For he is of pure and noble breed
