Bedtime

"Half-term holiday, family away

Half-wanting to go, half-wanting to stay

Stay in bed for half the day.

 

Half-read, half-listen to the radio

Half-think things through. Get up,

Half-dressed, half-wonder what to do.

 

Eat half a loaf, drink half a bottle

(Save the other half until later).

Other half rings up. Feel better."

 

- Roger McGough, 'Half-term' (1999)
