I lay in bed
Wide awake.
I close my eyes,
I try to fake.
I try to dream,
But I can hear
A movie playing -
Loud and clear.
It's no fair
My bedtime's early.
Missing the movie
Makes me surly.
I now vow
To stay up late
And watch a movie -
I can't wait.
But Mom says no
To my request.
"It's a school night,
You need your rest."
As I dose off
Snug and tight,
I dream my own movie
All through the night.
