Around the time I awake.
Unreasonable as my red-faced boss,
I snub like a pet shop snake.

maybe consider reversing this stanza... awake, toss, snake, boss... for some reason i don't like the sound of ending on a short note rather than a long one, but maybe thats just me

I don't care
If it's not fair.
Turn that light off -
I can't stand the glare. would it be over excessive to say "i can't bare the glare?" I only ask because you used care and fair... i dunno it does sound a little 'Dr. suess' like

Don't turn on the light,
Don't tell me your thoughts,
Don't care what the news says today. I could care less what the news has to say

Don't care what you think.
This trash bag is full.
The coffee pot’s empty. Hooray. - i like the sarcasm

Just leave me alone.
I really don't care.
Stay out of my way.
I'll get breakfast somewhere
On the way to my lousy job. - i'm iffy on breaking up the rhyme here.

It's not lack of caffeine
That makes me so mean,
It's YOU. well said

Good morning.
Whatever.
Have a good one.
I'll see ya.

Maybe it's not that I'm grouchy when tired,
Maybe that's not a fair call.
Maybe I just can't be bothered quite yet
To pretend that I like you at all. i like the repetition of the word maybe. the end brings it to a conclusion that is neither optimistic nor cheerful... i like that, seems realistic.
I like this though, it was a fun read rather than a struggle. you must be working with some real motivation to have something like this come to you during breakfast haha. anyway thanks because most of us have been here, congrats for having the balls to say it.
