Are You Serious? Get Out!
Brought To You By NyQuil
Mr sandman, this isn’t my dream,
looks are not what’s important to me.
Rose clover lips - don’t make me feel rested.
I’ll sleep with the fan and deal with mild congestion.
*
Sandman, leave me alone,
I’m doing just fine down here, on my own.
Please turn down that blasted beam.
Mr sandman, I need some zzzzzz’s.
*
Sandman, you know what I need?
A good nights rest, so I can quit the visine.
I’ve had enough of your -romance and glitter -
I want to sleep all night and not use the shi****
*
Sandman, I’m sorry, I’m sure you mean well.
But, take all your promise’s and go straight to……
well,
Ok, maybe one thing…
I want a kingsized comfy bed spring.
*
Sandman, get out of my room,
pawning your friends, at this hour is rude.
The only thing I need is your disappearing -
Unless you’ve got something for deep REM-ing
*
Sandman, let’s make a deal,
If you go away, I’ll agree to meet Neal.
Dude, for now I want to sleep.
Mr sandman- bring me,
Please, please bring me,
Mr sandman bring me - some zzzzzz’s.

Did I Lose Myself Along the Way?
I used to believe in kindness and sincerity, thinking that if I treated others well, they would reciprocate. However, life taught me that people’s hearts can be complex — filled with deception, jealousy, and betrayal.

Congratulations on your Top Story! Loved the rhyme and humour in your poem. Made me chuckle. You did a fantastic job!
Oh god, I really feel this one this week. I've been doing a terrible job of respecting my need for sleep. Congrats on the top story!
Interesting take on a classic... Now try 'Sh-Boom, Sh-Boom'! ;)
This was fantastic! I literally sang it in my head as I read it. LOL Job well done!
That was a pleasure to read and now I have The Chordettes in my earbuzz!
Superb!!! Loving your creative Sandman poem!!!👏💖😊💕
Very clever... I love "Mr. Sandman" what a great song... Especially by Trio - Dolly, Linda, and Emmylou.
You got a chuckle out of me. Your rhythm scheme was well orchestrated!
Lol. This is great.
