9:30 PM

Body, toasty warm

Snuggled up with heavy eyes.

Bladder says, “What if…”

That Moment Before Sleep

Pillow soft and cool

Sheets are clean. My feet are sore.

Now I have to pee.

The Real Party Is Getting 7-9 Hours Of Sleep Every Night

It’s Friday night

And the bar is hoppin’.

Folks are tired

From Christmas shoppin’.

All around

Drinks off are toppin’

And fists do fly

And guys be droppin’

But I don’t know

What pills they’re poppin’

‘Cause my bed said “Hi”

And into it I drop in.

It’s A Stalemate, By The Way. You’re Welcome

Oh muse, you flighty angel

Who fills my mind with light,

Why can’t you come when I’m working

And not the middle of the night,

For when I lay my head upon

My pillow, soft and dark,

I do not want to think about

Who would win: A truck or a shark.

I Feel Like There’s A Word For This…

Do you ever just feel exhausted,

Like you’re sleepwalking while horizontal

But instead of moving around

You sit in a weary font, dull?

And then you’re so tired your mind drifts

And you hallucinate vividly for an hour

And then find yourself in the morning

And you’re rested? That’s my super power!

Plane And Simple

While early birds may get the worm

Another truth may make you squirm:

Early birds often get

Sucked into a jet

And thus, to sleep late, I affirm.

No Pain, No Gawain

I am getting sleepy

And I open wide to yawn,

Then I march into my bedroom

And put plate armor on.

My chainmail hugs me tightly

And I fall into a heap…

This is what I have to do

To get a good knight’s sleep.

Fair Retails Before Bed

Once there was a tired gent.

To bed went he; To sleep he went.

The other folks said “Mama Mia!”

For the bed he went was in Ikea.

Coming Soon To The MCU: Night Owl

I’m tired and I’m sleepy

And I want to rest my mind,

But there is a problem

That I cannot leave behind:

As much as I need slumber

And as much as I need rest

Staying up unreasonably late

Is the one thing I do best.

I Dream of England

Jerry was snoring

In bed in New Hamphire.

“Zzz” was the sound from his head.

Gerald was snoring

In the Hampshire of olde,

And onlookers heard “Zedzedzed.”
