Poems of the Nap
Good work, all!
Des has instructions:
If Mom is napping
she’s sick. Tip toe outside the
bedroom door and wait.

I loved this one from Jill Scoggins-- I can relate:
Shutting my door. But
I can’t let anyone know
why. I need a nap.
We still live in a
place where napping is taboo.
But it shouldn’t be.
I’m much better when
I’ve had a nap. Why can’t YOU
make that fact OK?
Keeping it secret
breeds shame, discounts benefits
I bring from napping.
My nap makes me much
better at doing the job
you hired me to do.
I can’t let anyone know
why. I need a nap.

place where napping is taboo.

IPLawGuy has a groove:
Asleep in Class
Asleep at Church and my desk
Do they count as naps?

Christine can't nap:
The nap, great concept,
Comes easily to many,
Somniatic bliss
Mid day siesta
Eludes, my mind wanders,
To do list awaits

To do list awaits
But CraigA sure can!:
Evening news nap is
almost a certainty every night:
cuddled by couch, sigh

This anonymous one sounds about right:
No more tests to grade
No students seek my wisdom
Retirement: I'll nap.
No students seek my wisdom
Retirement: I'll nap.
And this one... not my world:
Farmer came for lunch
Rose at four in cold and wind
Couch beckoned,napped minute.
Rose at four in cold and wind
Couch beckoned,napped minute.
