I like writing sonnets-- really I do!
but often at night, I just want to sleep
so maybe I'll let a night or two go,
but I promise not more than once a week!
I made it a whole year writing each day
and I've found that I can do it no more
for no more poems awake I shall stay
when I'd much rather close my eyes and snore
I wish I were a better timekeeper
so I'd have them done well before bedtime
but now I choose to be a good sleeper
and I really don't think that's such a crime
Perhaps this will be an empty warning
if I can write a sonnet each morning
