BEDTIME

I’m headed for dreamland.

I’m going beddy bye.

It’s time to hit the sack,

And get some shut eye.

40 winks is too short.

A siesta won’t do.

I need more than a cat nap,

To see me through.

Before I drift off,

I try counting sheep.

I’ll be out like a light,

I need my beauty sleep.

I’m going to catch some ZZZ’s,

And hibernate.

I’ll be in the arms of Morpheus,

In a REM state.

I’ll sleep like a baby.

I’ll sleep like a dog.

I’ll sleep like a rock.

I’ll sleep like a log.

The Sandman’s here,

In the fading light.

Wish me sweet dreams,

It’s time to say goodnight.
