Noisy Little John
Can you put him back to sleep?
It's just past 1
But I can hear him weep.

I need my beauty rest,
But his cries,
Annoy my cells.

That boy knows nothing ,
But shout,
As if hell is waiting-
For him to be around.

Put him back to sleep.
Or I'll be the one to bring him to slumber.

I said put
John
Back to sleep.

Or I'll be the one to sleep forever.

John is knocking-
Oh no...
He's near my door,
Should I hide under my bed
And crawl on the floor?

The door opened-

"Can we sleep together tonight?"

Of course.
My noisy little John.

How stupid am I-
To nickname my anxiety, "John".
