Bedtime…

Posted on April 4, 2019 by Sue Vincent

I got home early, all convinced,

I’d be all done by seven.

I’d have a shower, settle down

And watch a film… such heaven!

And yet, I’m still here writing

At a quarter past eleven…

*

Not all is lost, ’cause somehow

I’m all scheduled days ahead!

I’ll get to spend the weekend

On some workshop work instead…

(And that’s on top of normal work…)

…I wish I was in bed.

*

In half an hour, I’ll be done,

And then with any luck,

I’ll snuggle under cover

With an old familiar book…

And lose myself in storyland

And will not give a ….zzzzzzz

    Such a gentle piece of considering each step before you lay down your pretty head on the pillow.
    Sweet dreams, Sue. 😴💤

    Another humorous poem, Sue. You do work really hard, just like me. We are the obsessive ones of this world.
