Unenthused

An acrostic poem—the first letter
of each line spells “unenthused.” Plus,
lines starting with the same letter use the same words.
It even SOUNDS unenthused, doesn’t it?

Unless things pick up around here,
Nobody should
Expect us to stay awake.
Nobody should
Think we even WANT to stay awake.
How can they expect us to stay awake
Unless things pick up around here?
Still, you KNOW the boss will
Expect us to stay awake.
Don’t wake me before five, that’s what I say.
