Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Bedtime

I did say to my little one,

"It's time for you to go to bed."

My hope was that my youngest son

Would do as I asked, but instead

A temper tantrum he did throw.

He screamed and tears flowed from each eye.

Not gonna work, I told him so,

No matter how much he did cry.

And so he rolled around the floor

Until he wore himself all out.

He fell asleep, I heard him snore.

When he woke up, a bath no doubt.

This Mama Ewe has surely got

A lamb with woolies in a knot.
