If I was as fast as Mohammad Ali  
I could switch the light off  
and be in bed before it went dark.  
Sadly, I am not that quick.  
When I switch the light off  
and it, goes dark  
I’m struggling around  
to reach my bed,  
bumping into things  
left and right.  
It gets so bad  
that I have to struggle back  
to switch on the light.  
So if you are like me  
not as quick as Mohammad Ali.  
Here is a little trick tip do,  
study where everything is placed,  
then turn off the light.  
It saves all those bangs and bumps  
for another day.
