Wake Up!

The time was 9:00 A.M. and I was nestled gently in my Most Comfortable Bed in the World™, dreaming of kittens and other children’s playthings. Then, suddenly:

Whooooooop! Whooooop! Eh eh eh eh eh! Honk! Honk! Honky tonk!

I drew my naked, twitching form from my soft, warm covers and peeked out the blinds in the style of creepy old man. Lo, there were college children-kind lining the avenue in front of my apartment! In the street separating them was situated a Flying V of motorbiked police men, activating their sirens in random and not-so-random intervals (Some of them coordinated songs with their sirens).

I knew I wouldn’t be able to get back to sleep, so I slipped on my jeans, grabbed the camera, and sat by my living room window to watch and take pictures of what I quickly realized was my University’s Homecoming Parade.

I watched, I enjoyed, and when it was over at 10 o’clock I resumed being passed out in my bed.

I’ve posted pictures of the parade for anyone who cares!

Being that you're twenty I am sure you don't mind waking up like that but I would have been hot. And not hot in the good way either.
