Clock strikes midnight
A time most begin to fright
But I alas is the time for me to hit the hay
Staying up late
Is becoming harder to take
When I was a young man I would start my nights late
As I grow older if find it hard to stay awake
Now midafternoon is my time
Not too early and not too late
Of course I try to prevent this fate
I try an afternoon nap
I sleep in late
All to no avail
As summer comes and the sun’s setting becomes delayed
My need to go to sleep will be downplayed
So I guess it’s time to lay me down to sleep
Until my bladder makes we wake
But that’s another story all together
