A Sleepy Poem

My eyes are heavy, my shoulders droopy 

My legs are sloppy, my mind is loopy 

I'm ever so sleepy, I must stay awake 

I must get to my bed, a chance I must take 

For there's such a great distance between it and me

 

Too far to be safe, too far don't you see? 

Perhaps too far of a walk to make 

To get to my bed for sleepiness' sake

But I must reach my pillow before it's too late

Or sleep on the floor with my pet puppy, Nate 

And all of the other things there on the floor 

Toys and stuff between my bed and the door

 

Oh I wish I could be there, 

I wish it were so 

To be snug as a bug in a rug, but no 

First I must get there, then lay my head down 

On my big fluffy pillow full of goose down 

Just two more steps, or maybe one giant leap! 

Now I can stop wishing, 

I'm going to sleep.
