Deep inside the radio alarm clock, sitting on the night stand beside your bed, a circuit closes and activates the radio, set to your favorite oldies station. Almost like a laser bolt, the music rips you from your sleep and you open one eye....

She put the lime in the coconut
She drank em both up
She put the lime in the coconut
She called her doctor, woke him up

She said, Doctor

You may need that later! Grabbing every medication you can find you drag yourself back to bed and collapse. Welcome to your "Morning After".
