I basically made this up spontaneously last night so it’s a bit throwaway but my friends seemed to like it.
Pratting about!
I’m sat here in my bed
and I should be going to sleep
But I can’t drag myself off facebook
I’m just too fucking weak.
My eyelids they are heavy
And my eyes have started to sting
I need to turn the light off
and get off this bloody thing
My hubby is a snoring
the cats are curled up too
The dog has nodded off
and i have nothing more to do
except set my bloody alarm clock
and have my night time pee
Turn my bedside light out
Then snuggle down and get cosy
But I haven’t got round to it
Cos i’m making up this rhyme
and if I’m not bloody careful
I’ll hear the midnight bells all chime.
So i’m gonna get my head down
And post not one thing more
So I can get a few hours shut-eye
And getting up won’t be a chore
