Huge clumps of homogenous night <br />Don’t you need a holiday? <br /> <br />Haven’t you run out of twisted delight for keeping my sleep at bay? <br /> <br />It’s it time you had some peace? <br />It’s a tough job that you do <br />Praying writing, counting sheep <br />The things I do to you <br /> <br />When does the darkness get a break <br />From keeping little old me awake? <br /> <br />Watching me scribble toss and turn <br />I’m convinced some decent rest’s been earned <br /> <br />I’m sure the night can’t wait for summer <br />Summer’s a shorter shift <br /> <br />More light means less time for slumber <br />And less time to keep me from going adrift<br /><br />Lea Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-can-t-wait-for-summer/
