Bedtime Story

Up too early or up too late?
Went to bed at ten
Can’t sleep ‘til eight

Read the “paper” online
Checked the stock market quotes
That IRA of mine
Is in the wrong boat

Poker After Dark is on TV
Why does watching interest me?
I never bet, I don’t gamble
I blog, and talk and ramble, ramble.


I’ve got time on my hands
It’s the middle of the night
I could pluck my eyebrows
Fix my hair, it’s a fright

There is laundry to be folded
A dishwasher not unloaded
A kitchen floor that needs sweeping
But all that is keeping--

Instead I’m writing bad rhymes
Wasting God-given time
A good book waits to be read
But I’m going back to bed.
