Not last night

Not last night but the night before

I stayed up all night not doing a chore

Me time at last, had finally come

but at half past three it became a bore

with a really sore head and too much to do

I started to wonder what on earth for

So I took out my paper and I looked for a pen

And I scribbled and scribbled until it was four

Around this time, I started to type

I wrote you poem that was really quite raw

I then took a picture of something quite random

That little red car that you'd left on the floor

It was around 5, I felt totally wacked

My back was all achy, I could take It no more.

So I laid on our couch and I did close my eyes

But there was far too much noise as we're missing a door

I heard you first screech and then you did cough

Your throat to me seemed rather quite sore

I tossed and turned until half past seven

and I heard them awake, the ones from next door

It didn't take long before you were up

And I came up to greet you upon the next floor

You jumped for joy and said "lost Nate"

You gave me a book that you love to the core

It's a paper -thin book and it goes just like this

"Not last night but the night before

Three black cats came knocking at my door

I came downstairs to let them in

They knocked me down like a bowlin pin."

I read you the book, not only the once

For you like it so much, you kept asking for more

It's 10 past bedtime, I should really finish

Before your sweet dad comes and lays down the law.
