Falling asleep, one of the hardest things on this Earth!

Probably even harder than child birth

A dangerous stunt you should never try at home

Especially when you’re all alone

Thinking about monsters in the dark

With a humped up back much like the curvature of an arc

Yes, it is a very tough thing to do

Especially when you’ve got to go to the loo!

After you’ve told your mum the last excuse

And then you come up with this one, and she doesn’t think it’s true!

She gives you a lecture on the boy who cried wolf

And tries to get you to fall asleep by reading a book

That usually has stories about the tiny little fairies

That would shrink you down to their size with just one humongous poof!

By this time you know you should give up the acting

Otherwise in the next two minutes your parents will threaten you with

Doctors needles, stomach flues and even spanking!

After one more hour of pretending you don’t need to sleep

You just give in like you’re too exhausted

And then sneakily go into the kitchen to get some candy

After having that you start walking all around the house all jumpily and prancing

You jump up and down a few times and suddenly down you crash!

And your mother and father are leaping for joy

As they have finally completed their mission!

You’re fast asleep in the world of chocolate ice-creams, unicorns and cartoons

Your mother turns out the lights

Quietly creeps out

Relieved she is done for the night

No more chores, no cooking

She too goes to sleep but her mind keeps working and working……
