I’m Much Too Tired to Play Tonight

by Jack Prelutsky

I’m much too tired to play tonight,
I’m much too tired to talk,
I’m much too tired to pet the dog,
or take him for a walk,
I’m much too tired to bounce a ball,
I’m much too tired to sing,
I’m much too tired to try to think,
about a single thing.

I’m much too tired to laugh tonight,
I’m much too tired to smile,
I’m much too tired to watch TV,
or read a little while,
I’m much too tired to drink my milk,
or even nod my head,
but I’m not nearly tired enough
to have to go to bed.
