My Foot Fell Asleep
By: Kenn Nesbitt

My foot fell asleep right inside of my shoe
from sitting around having nothing to do.
It hadn't drank warm milk nor tried count sheep;
it just wasn't busy, and fell right asleep.

You see, in my shoe it gets lonely and boring,
which made my foot sleepy, and soon it was snoring.
My foot snored so loudly my shoe began flapping.
But it didn't notice -- it kept right on napping!

It slept through the morning and most of the day,
despite that my other foot wanted to play.
It took a siesta. It slumbered inert.
It nodded through dinner.
It dozed through dessert.

Now I'm in my bed and I've been up all night.
I'm trying to sleep, although try as I might, my foot slept all day (what a foolish mistake!)
now I can't fall asleep 'cause my foot's wide awake!
