Hurry Up Day

Hurry up Day
I wish you would just go away

You always give me so many things to do
You never give me rest and that’s why I can’t wait to be through with you

You move so slowly and your much too long
The longer you drag, the more things go wrong

You wake me up when I want to sleep
Every time I’m around you, you send me home tired and weak

You’re selfish and you only want to have your way
You run me around so much; you never give me time to play

Sometimes people ask me, where has the day gone?
I tell them I don’t care, because I’ve been with Day much too long

So, Hurry up Day, I wish you would just go away
Because my true love Night is coming and this time I’m begging him to stay

Hi Faizah- This is neat....you WANT the night...clever concept here...as I work night shift I often say...hurry up night, I want it to be day!! ha ha. Less stress for you at night and it's just a romantic kind of hour I suppose. (on the line..much too long) if u meant it to be then it's a typo. I envy those who speak and write multiple languages...I should improve myself more and expand my mind. Hats off to you. Gwendolen
