I've tried to tell my mother
I don't need a nap for me.
Naps are just for babies --
but we just don't agree.
I'm much too big to take one
and I've tried to tell her that,
but Mom will never understand
why I don't want a nap.
So every day I lay here
with nothing else to do.
Sometimes I even fall asleep
-- and I think that she does, too. poem found at barking spiders
