GOING TO BED

by Nikitha
(Bangalore, India)

I have to go to bed
"Right now", my dad said
Something I hate to do
Because of my squeaky little bed.

I can never go to sleep
Even if I count sheep
Because of all the noises
From my squeaky little bed.

Late at night
My sister comes to bed
"I don't like to sleep early"
She once said.

With my sister at my side
I finally go to sleep
And sleep and sleep and sleep
Its noon and I'm still fast asleep.

Its time to get out of bed
"Right now", my dad said
Something I hate to do
Because I like my squeaky little bed.
