Please Let Me Sleep

Please let me sleep

I don’t ask for much

I can’t wake up at three

and be expected to perform without a crutch

please let me rest

my eyes are weary

and body tired

I know that you have a lot of energy

but I can’t help it that you’re wired

please close your eyes

and take a little nap

mommy would be grateful

and I’m sure your other parent would be glad

please don’t expect to play

when the sun isn’t even up

why not feel rejuvenated

we both can’t be in a slump

yes, please rest your eyes

I love your little snores

and then in the morning

we can play some more
