Leggy The Bed Hopper 🛌 Poem by Nicola (IG Nicola_JustMe) Pillai

She creeps in at midnight
When nobody knows
Ever so lightly
On her tip toes
She knows she shouldn't do it
She just can't keep still
Something inside her finds it a thrill

From bed to bed she hops all night
Beneath the covers
Out of sight
The warmth of the bed
It can be of any kind
Bunk bed
Double
She really doesn't mind

You see Leggy is a girl
Who's playful and sweet
She just finds it hard
To settle down to sleep

One night on the hop
She went a bed too far
Out the front door
Past the car
She stumbled into the neighbours
Who owned a great big cat
Huddled down beside him
On his big fat mat

"My word, " said the neighbour
"What have we here? "
When she woke to find Leggy
Asleep by his ear

With a hop skip and a jump
Leggy woke with a fright
"What did I get up to late last night? "
She ran to her mama
"I promise, " she said
"From this day on, I'll sleep in my bed! "
