Now, his friends have all gone,

Teddy gets into bed,

Looking round at his cards ?

A real sleepyhead!

Today, I was four,

I?ll be five next year!

He tells himself, softly,

So that no one can hear.

Then he closes his eyes,

And counts,

One, two, three, four, five...

But he?s fast asleep

Long before number ten!
