Old-Age Retirement

Some go to bed to dine, or sup,
While some retire to keep
Their books, or knit; but I admit
I go to bed to sleep.

Still others take their books, and read
Of Wretched Things that creep.
I want no screams to rend my dreams:
I lay me down to sleep.

Abnormal, me? A little crazy?
I favor this theory: just plain lazy.
