5387 - The quiet of my room

It’s nice to lie on my bed in the quiet 
Of my room, no distractions, background noise 
As faces on tv I’m trying not 
To pay attention to invade my space 
Instead I’m cocooned here, safe, they can’t raise
Their cacophony to disrupt my thoughts 
Instead I read, though silent sleepiness 
Crept up after one chapter. Ovid taught 
Of changes to animals that were wrought 
By the gods, or to rocks or trees, their spot
Fixed for all time. Did lunchtime exercise 
Pleased with that, second day in a row. Ought
To keep it up each day til Friday. Put
In for promotion again! Rats will race!
