And "The Rest" is History

Wow, has it really been that long since I've posted?  I've wanted to write and had moments of inspiration.  But the days are long, and the evenings short.  And well, I need my rest.

I glance at Hubby in his chair
"Are you still awake over there?"
'Cause I myself have drooping lids,
After spending the day with a room full of kids
I'm yawning, and it's hard to keep
Myself from falling fast asleep
I'd like to watch the 10:00 news
But my internal clock says it's time to snooze
So I fold the afghan and turn out the light
Certain I'll sleep well tonight
I rouse Hubby from his chair
Lock the doors and climb the stairs
Stumbling, yawning all the way
In need of rest after a long hard day
Can't wait to rest my weary head
And lie 'neath cool Egyptian threads
My drooping lids so want to close
Eight hours is healthy, everyone knows
I'm comfy and cuddled in our bed
With dreams just forming in my head
When suddenly, the man I adore
Begins his ever-lovin' snore
A combo of a grunt and puff
It doesn't take long, I've had enough
It seems I'm suddenly wide awake
And, oh, I want to give him a shake,
But I decide that one of us should sleep
And grabbing my pillow, I quietly creep
From our cozy room and into the den
Where I try to fall asleep again
But as I said, I'm wide awake
It's 2:00 A.M., for goodness sake
I really need my beauty sleep
In four short hours my alarm will beep
Good grief, I can hear him clear in here
I hope you're sleeping soundly, Dear,
Did you catch the sarcasm in that last line?
Oh, no! Is that the sun starting to shine?
Dear Lord, I really need some rest
You know my students love to test
My patience on a daily basis
And without sleep, they may see traces
Of the evil one that lurks inside
The one that snips,and snarls, and chides
If not for me, do it for the kids
What's that? A closing of the lids?
At last, I feel that I can sleep,
And . . . I  . . . am . . . B-B-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-P!!!!!!!
