I write these all so late at night
That something needs to give
The daily poem is lots of fun
But I must also live

It seems to meet what I should do
Is write these earlier
But if that will be done, who knows
I’m not a worrier

It’s not ideal to write these just
Before I go to bed
For though that is a nifty time
To get thoughts from my head

The goal is sleep that I pursue
Above artistic craft
So though I’d like to add more depth
I can be somewhat daft

We’ll see, we’ll see, perhaps someday
I’ll get my schedule right
But until then I’ll only say
This very quick good night
