I don't know if you have heard
You can't call me an early bird
Dawn really is no friend of mine
Especially after a night of drinking wine
In my teens was quite a rake
At 1.00am was still awake
Staggering home full as a coot
I was surprised my Ma didn't give me the boot
This all changed when I met Sue
Most stunning girl I ever knew
Loved the way she flicked her hair
So losing her would be far more that I could bear
And so it was we got wed
Must confess she was good in bed
Not long before babe came along
We were all so pleased that I could have sung a song
However there's just one thing
All was quiet wife is sleeping
Found those earlier days a boon
As little bub's crying would wake me far too soon

Always pleased to read your posts ... we have led parallel lives.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, new babes do cause rearrangement of sleep patterns!
ReplyDeleteI will join your club, Robin. Ours were twin boys, they kept the same hours.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Some years ago, I worked 30+ hour shifts and now... I nod off at my computer screen. I like your remembrances of earlier times. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt's difficult to stick to the same sleep schedule once there is a new born baby in the house 💝
ReplyDeleteThis brought back memories for me. There's something so soothing about your poetry. I always enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteChildren certainly change the hours of sleep and awake.
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Yes, I have had six children and they DO change things up a bit.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I remember those days when my little ones got up super early. Now it's a wonder if they're up by 10 on the weekends.
