Ode to the Packrat

My clock radio hasn't worked consistently (it frequently loses steam, turns off, then on, and requires me to constantly re-set it) for over a year, but I haven't been able to throw it away, because I've had it since 2000/my first year in high school, but I can't afford to wake up late because of its malfunctions, thus its time has come. Goodbye clock radio of 8 years, you have been good for a long time
