Passage / Scenario

An Ode to Naps

The rain is tapping footsteps on the roof
It sounds a lovely dance inside my head
This peaceful aura only serves as proof
That I should dodge my work to lie in bed


The pillows pull me in with their behest
A trap that I do not want to escape
The blankets form a most enticing nest
They wrap me in a shroud that won't undrape

I'm tempted further by my furry friends
They've taken o'er the mattress in a pile
Oh, how I want to nestle in with them!
But first, I know that I must work awhile

I promise, bed, I will be back for you
I'll surely nap before the day is through
