Slumber

While the other children played with their toys,
one single child laid lone on the floor.
Though generally one of the rowdy boys,
today he lay still with a quiet snore.

It seemed nothing would disturb his slumber
as he lay asleep holding a toy car.
Around him the other kids did lumber;
one even stepped on the sleeping boy's arm.

I thought nothing would rouse this tired child;
It seemed that he was determined to sleep.
All the other children were going wild,
but yet he continued to make no peep.

Finally after twenty minutes past,
he sat up and said he'd had a good nap.
