The Snooze Cruise

Mother says it’s nap time, 

But I pretend it’s not.

I climb into my bed and I 

Pretend that it’s a yacht.

I sail away to where I want, 

To islands in the sun,

To emerald seas out in the breeze 

Where daydreams like to run.

I ride the waves all up and down 

With dolphins at my side,

And sea gulls flying overhead 

Serving as my guide.

And when it’s time to leave behind 

Imaginary skies,

I simply set my sights for home -- 

And open up my eyes!
