Wishful Thinking

You told me to get in my bed
You did
But, wow, there’s so much stuff to do!
You said to get straight into bed
I know
But honestly
When do I listen to you?
You tell me “Don’t touch that!”
And out creeps my finger
You say “Hurry UP!”
And I sit there and linger
“Try to be quiet”
You say as I scream
Don’t hit my sister?
It’s FUN to be mean!
So having this history there in your head
I find it amusing
(and frankly confusing)
You actually thought that you’d find me in bed!

(and not in the toy room instead)
