My Nighttime Aberration
We kiss goodnight and close the light;
just moments pass, and he is snoring!
Why is this brain of mine still bright
with thoughts- oh my, this is so boring!
The same old process I go through-
once snuggled in, my mind's exploring
those things that I forgot to do,
like lock the door and pull the drapes;
turn off the plugged-in crockpot too.
This isn't fair, and I go apes-
so from my comfy bed, I run
without the slightest hesitation-
to find at last, that I'd missed none!
Now, back to bed- this aggravation-
for sure's my nighttime aberration!
