GO TO BED

Go to bed, my mother said. I'd rather stay up instead.

These words ring in my head
Don't make a sound. Around this house, don't be found
Go to sleep, don't make a peep. Count sheep,
In your room stay, dont play, be alone, not around this home
Don't go out if you do, you'll be blue
You'll scream and shout.
Hit the sheets. No, that's not neat
See, bed time with me is not fine.

Go to bed, my mother said. I'd rather stay up instead.

Yes, see, that's what she said to me.
Tu Get offline.
No see, with this, she is not fine.rn off the TV.
Get off the phone.
Your talk with your friends must end.
In my room, she did walk.

Go to bed, my mother said. I'd rather stay up instead.

She told me to hit the hay. I say no way.
Go to the land of dreams, that makes me scream
a nightmare for which, I don't care.
Bedtime, this is'nt fine.
My friends need to go home. I'll be alone.
I wish she would just leave me.
In bed, she said is where to lay my head.

Go to bed, my mother said. I'd rather stay up instead.
Go to bed, my mother said. I'd rather stay up instead.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

For every person who has been told to go to bed/sleep
Heck, I'm 34 and my wife tells me to go to bed.
