When your bladder wakes you in the night.
I used to sleep through the night like a baby
Well, an older baby at least
We had a little one once with colic
But that’s another story all together
Anyway, it’s 4 AM and my bladder called me
What a subtle thing is that
You just know your need to go
Not a real emergency, no like at the ball game
But here’s my question
I was sound asleep when nature called
No alarm clock there, subtle as I said
How did the rest of me know I had to go
