Can't Sleep

Off to bed now I will go

Will I sleep?

Good gracious no

Thought around my head will thunder

Keeping me from peaceful slumber

My restless legs start to twitch

And the rest of my body has an endless itch

Tossing and turning counting those sheep

His nibs lies beside me fast asleep.

Soon slumber befalls me but its way far too late

The hands on the clock are now pointing to eight

Time to get up now get myself dressed and fed

But I really do really want to sleep in my bed

Jean Burns
