I'm Still Not A-sleeping
Sleep Frustration: A Poem Using Rhythm.
I get into my bed, intending
To rest my head,
But my bed hates me,
So I get up instead;
The clock ticks away,
But my eyes are wide awake,
They say, "No, Go Away,
The day is here to stay!
So I jump up sleepy-eyed,
Dreaming away of lullabies,
But my eyes are a-peeping,
Though it's time for sleeping!
I make myself some tea,
But now it's time to pee,
The toilet says, "Piss off!"
Then it laughs at me.
I'm now awake and dreaming,
While the world is a-sleeping;
My mind is now hallucinating
That my kids are a-waking!
Finally my eyes are shutting,
But now the car-horns are beeping,
It's the middle of the bloody night,
And I'm still not a-sleeping!
