Missed Movie Night

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.
