Are you ready?! (Bedtime Story)

  • NB: 12:36am, can’t sleep… had a spontaneous story in my head. Many thanks to my friend Erik for keeping me company as I wrote this one too by the way 🙂

    Are you ready?!

    Oh my, Oh my!
    At last you’re here!
    Now we can get started
    On this Adventure from bed.

    Are you ready?
    Are your bags packed?
    What should we take?
    Perhaps an elephant?

    WAIT! Where should we go?
    Some place far or near?
    Up a mountain?
    Or down this hole right here?

    Should we go on tiptoes?
    Or Upside down with a hat?
    Perhaps in circles… Zigzags? Squares?
    No, No! How about by ship!?
    I’m sure that pirate won’t mind one bit?

    Right, I think we are ready!
    Oh gosh I can’t wait!
    But first we must say our good nights and sleep tights.
    I can’t wait for tomorrow to tell all how it went.

    Sleep really gives the best adventures ever had.
