It was two A. M., and I’d not slept. I had grumbled and groaned, almost wept. What was torturing me? Then the truth I did see. I yelled, “Whoopee” and from my bed leapt. My old arthritic knees worked just fine; to the kitchen I made a beeline. There was one piece of cake, which for my sweet tooth’s sake I devoured. Then I slumbered till nine. June 12, 2020 entered in Carolyn Devonshire's Sleepless Contest placed 2nd

I can relate with this so well. At nights, I lay awake and while thinking of something my stomach grumbles and I have cravings for cakes. Congratulations on your win Janice :)

I just hate it when I get hungry at night but if I eat too early it happens all the time and I can’t sleep without getting something to eat. So I understand what you are saying in this poem and relate to it so well. Congratulations on your wonderful win. Blessings xxoo

Janice, I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to get up in the middle of the night to devour that goody in the fridge. Really enjoyed this! Congratulations on your win. Best wishes, carolyn
