The Quest of the Sleepy

I slept too little
All through the week,
And a healthy 10 hours
Of sleep did I seek,

But I stayed up until midnight
And the sun rose at eight.
Someday I’ll get my 10 hours,
But for now it must wait.

I’m tired of sleeping,
I long to be awake,
But my stupid human body
Has a need I cannot slake.

So I’ve decided on a compromise
To fulfill my needed slumber.
I’ll sleep while I’m at work.
It’s easy enough to cut up lumber.
