“BEDTIME PRAYER!” a.k.a.: “Beddie-Bye-Bye-Time Need NOT Include Unfinished Phone Calls!” 🙂 Wednesday: Karaoke Day + Poetry Gathering Today – The Last Day of February 28, 2018, for consideration!

A phone’s not (necessarily) loving – and a phone’s not (necessarily) kind!

WHEN – a phone doth seek to “bind,”

When a phone controls our sleep pat-terns,

Then, a phone it only hurts and burns,

A case in point (quite sad, I think):

When

Before-bed,

A call did blink!

We spoke a while, BUT,

IT WAS TIME, TO GO TO BED AND END THE RHYME,

Of a fine day – of ac – ti – vity,

This time is good for “prep,” you see,

A topic touched upon (before), I think,

BEFORE GOOD REST, PREPARE TO SINK,

Into a blessed slumber here,

In our bed, with my dear!

I like to wash and rinse and say,

A few kind words, to end the day,

To think about the day to come,

BUT NOT to worry – or sip the rum!

Relax the body, relax the mind,

Prepare to dream and do be kind,

To self and others – who shared the day,

This, I think, is how to pray!
