I Don't Need a Nap!
When I Was Just a Little Kid
An Afternoon Nap's What I Did!
My Eighth Birthday's a March Ago!
So I Don't Need Naps! No! No! No!
Though My School Day Starts Way Early!
You Know I Never Get Surly!
It's True, I Do Play Wicked Hard
At Recess, Out In the School Yard!
But Don't Get This Crazy Idea
That I Should Nap! Let's Get This Clear!
I'm Not Some Small Second~Grader
Who Needs Her Sleep! I'm No Fader!
So Why's Mom Looking at Me Weird?
And Why's My Strength Been Commandeered?
And How'd Blankie Get On My Lap?
I Told You, I Don't Need a Nap!
Oh No! I'm Stretching and Yawning!
What's This? A New Day is Dawning?
Come On! This Can't Happen to Me!
I'm Bella! And I'm In Grade Three!!!
Your Grampa Sure Loves Y'All!
Love~Grampa (Sept 16, 2017)
