Lumpy Oatmeal makes me Crazy!

Thoughts of sleep nestle in my brain
I hear my bed calling out my name
I look around and see a lot of chores
Then my eyes linger at the bedroom door
I know my pillow cradles my book
I could just hold it and take a look
The words beckon me with invitation
My excuse could be sleep deprivation
Then I could curl up among the covers high
Two cats at my feet and dogs against each thigh
It would be so nice to look up at the sun
Gazing out the window until sleep won
A little afternoon nap would be so nice
My bedroom and book do so entice
Just a bit of time to read and rest
I think my will power is being put to test
So away I’ll go and get my jobs done
Call my young friends for baking cookie fun
And later on when the sun sinks low
I’ll succumb to desire and to bed I’ll go
My book will be there still waiting for me
I’ll lean back and together we will read.

It’s nappy time
Time for cookies and milk
Lie down and look at the pictures
In your book.

Nappy time is a fun time indeed, but i recon my willpower is much less than yours. by the way, the write was a delight to read.

I am the two-toed wanderer
