  When I don’t post it’s usually because of this: I wanted to watch a movie, And check a site on-line, But then my mother told me, “You can’t! Look at the time.” “It’s half past ten,” my mother said, “It’s time for you to be in bed.” I never liked that clock, I thought. And now I wish that it would stop. When my homework is complete, My Mother says to go to sleep! And always when my work is done, There’s no more time for any fun. (By Abigail Murdy, May 10, 2004) Well, it communicates the general idea, at any rate.
