Poetry: Late night thoughts

by Betty Blake

Created on: August 31, 2011

When the world is asleep, that's when they come

barging in on me. They interrupt my precious sleep.

Seems like deja vu; it's quarter to three; my 'witching

hour'; and that's when these late night thoughts come

to visit me. I toss and turn and often count maybe

hundreds of sheep.


What I'm going do without 'John'? Perhaps, I shouldn't

have broken off with him. At least, he would be some

sort of company. But, that's not enough if he doesn't

have your morals and values. Yea, he doesn't even like

my family. These late night thoughts keep gnawing me.

Maybe, I should take up a hobby and adopt a cute pet.

That should fill quite a huge gap.


I reckon I made a great choice. I love my adorable Cherry.

However, lately, she has become overly frisky. Maybe,

I should find her a partner. But, dear God, I have to get her

spayed. By golly, I can't afford a litter. I know it was a wise

decision to leave John. He wouldn't have liked Cherry or the 

thought of a potential partner. These late night thoughts are

worth it once in in a while. Alas, I think I've solutions!
