Reactionary

Why is it that Junior, at time to retire,
Has all the resolve of a never-say-dier
Who rounds up his interests and takes them to bed
Where they chase all the sleepiness out of his head?
So he kicks and he tosses and clamors for water,
(One fourth animation and three-quarters blotter)
And finally succumbs, at the promise of mayhem,
To fight just as hard to stay in bed come a.m.
