The sleeping rainbow

The faded rainbow lines
as it twists and turns and binds.
It plays a little tune
as I look out at the moon.
"I can't believe it's already night"
"Don't let the bed bugs bite"
I can't wait till noon,
there will be no more moon.
"I wanna go play with my friend"
"Well daytime is at an end"
And my mum will say "goodnight"
Even though it's still light.
Then with five or six sheep,
I fall into the deepest sleep.
