#PoeticAnswers 46 – Is It Bedtime Yet?

I want to say yes,
But it’s only two-thirty.
Ten hours to go.

Sorry, not quite yet.
We need you to do something,
It shouldn’t take long.

The buses don’t run,
You’ll need to walk home, sorry.
Should take an hour.

Home at last, bedtime.
What’s that noise? No, it can’t be.
It’s time to get up.

I ask myself this every day.
