I love to sleep
24-hours a day
and for the rest
of the night too
But mum screams:
Wake up,
dreamy bones -
and do something!
And so I wake up
and promptly
go back to sleep
as that way
I honor mum’s words.
Dad breathes
words of inspiration:
Get up,
lazy bones -
and achieve wonders!
And so I wake up
and stay awake
the duration of a long yawn
and that way
the dreams of my father
are fulfilled.
