Almost Bedtime

It’s just about nine

I’ve got plenty of time

Though tomorrow I need to get going at dawn

Surf a couple sites more

Cause it’s hardly a chore

Now the clock’s striking ten and where has the time gone?

Just one thing to do

Send an email or two

Is it really eleven? It can’t be that late!

I’ll do one final scrawl

Of a post on my wall

But why would it post with tomorrow’s new date?

Oh wait! I forgot

All the dishes I’ve got

Thank goodness I finished, it’s now nearly one

Just a quick snack then bed

Fill my gut and my head

Grab a book and Doritos - an hour more done

Then I turn off the light

Brush my teeth for the night

Take a seat on the pot, play sudoku till three

Now I finally lie down

But my thoughts swirl around

At least in the morning there’s coffee or tea

As I drift off, I find

One last thought fills my mind

Tomorrow I’ve got to be getting more sleep

But I won’t, that’s my plight

I wake up with the night

It’s the curse of the night owl - it just makes me weep!
