The Boy Who Slept Too Little

There once was a boy who stayed awake until three-thirty in the morning to call his girlfriend in England just to say he loved her. They talked until it was time for her to go to work, and before he knew it, it was five in the morning. She said sweet things to him as he fell asleep, and the boy slept until noon but was still tired all day. He decided it was worth it, and that he would do it again. So he did what he could to stay awake. Chatted online, listened to music, lurked on myspace clicking every profile in his friend network. He wished that he could spin the earth at his leisure, fast-forwarding himself to the time that she would wake again, stealing just a few short moments to say good morning.
