Going to Bed
I'm always told to hurry up-Which I'd be glad to do,
If there were not so many things
That need attending to.
But first I have to find my towel
Which fell behind the rack,
And when a pillow's thrown at me
I have to throw it back.
And then I have to get the things
I need in bed with me.
Like marbles and my birthday train
And Pete the chimpanzee.
I have to see my polliwog
Is safely in its pan,
And stand a minute on my head
To be quite sure I can.
I have to bounce upon my bed
To see if it will sink,
And then when I am covered up
I find I need a drink.
