Twas the night of no sleep...

Twas the night of no sleep

and all through the house

one little creature was stirring

a bit bigger than a mouse

His milk was not there

and life was awry

so to mama and papa

he came for a cry

Poor mama was weary

and papa faked sleep

Of waking she was understandable leery

and wondered why no birds did peep

Lo it was but 2 in the morn

and off he was hustled

alone and forlorn

while mama sat with him, slightly ruffled

The moments ticked by

the milk it was drunk

papa dropped off a bottle

and off mama slunk

A nightmare then struck

at 4 of the clock

papa wailed, rather gruff,

and mama did make mock

And off to the room

she went with a scurry

and there like a mushroom

to sleep did she hurry

Yup, sleep was in poor supply last night :) and I and the cat wound up asleep on the futon under a dressing gown while Chris had the entire king size bed to himself!!!
