Ode to my fellow midnight marauders
Who like me take no notice of last orders
We all should be in bed but we are writing here instead
Katanga I can see you are on line I imagine you are drinking wine
So I dare to boast that you'll join me in this toast
To all who are still signed in those of you who have joined us in sin
Sitting there still writing fighting tiredness as twilight starts to dim
Goodnight and god-bless and has me granny used to say Darlings
Please don't forget to undress even though I so now need to rest
I think I 'll just wait and see who I've addressed
So please be kind reply in rhyme in your own time

Who surely don’t live to be old.
For early to bed keeps you healthy
And wealthy and wise, we are told.
| Prey take notice

Those of you who choose to ignore decide to write some more give some mind to replying to me in rhyme

I admire those who stay up late to write. The old saying about healthy, wealthy and wise,may work at times but being good doesn't give you a longer life, it only makes it feel longer.
I've posted an answer in rhyme.
Cheers

Thoroughly enjoyed! And me in it? I blush!
Cheers Violet!

Early to bed and early to rise
Loses your girl to the other guys. |

Ah, but who would you use as the control for comparison?
Speaking for myself I'm an Owl rather than a lark, but it does depend on situation. Camping out with horses at a competition, I'm a lark, early to bed, early woken up by the nags clomping about, while the owls sleep off their hangovers. At home, I'm seduced by the word processor in the evening, hoo hoo, and spend too much time on line to be up betimes in a morning.
Early one morning, just as the sun was rising
I heard my daughter singing in the wagon down below
'Stuff "presentation",
it's aggravation -
seven hours of cleaning gear for twenty minutes' show... ' |
