90. Silly Night © Hélène Levasseur

 HELENE IN MID NIGHT

GOT AWAKENED FROM THE RAYS OF THE MOONLIGHT
CAME DOWNSTAIRS TO RID ME OF A RAY-FIGHT
REALIZED THEN THAT IT WAS ALREADY MIDNIGHT
A TIME TO READ AND STUDY ON THIS WEARY NIGHT

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN SOMEWHAT COOL AND BRIGHT
BUT COULDN’T SNAP OUT OF THE NIGHT’S INSIGHT
THAT I WAS GOING TO WRITE A PLAY OVERNIGHT
AND HELP A READER WHO NEEDED TO BE SET RIGHT

I BEGAN TO WRITE ABOUT ME AND MY PLIGHT
AND REALIZED THAT I WAS SETTING A FORE-SIGHT
KNOWING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO BE A FLY-BY-NIGHT
SO I WENT BACK TO BED AND SLEPT ALL-RIGHT.
