Forty Winks

Sleep!
Oh sweet and blissful sleep
Two hours at best
It’s anybody’s guess
When next some winks I'll keep!

Beep!
Oh my alarm goes beep
I hardly had rest
In my comfy nest
Now to my feet I must leap!

Weep!
Oh how my poor eyes weep
They seek and quest
To be put at rest
But sleep just don’t come cheap! :(

    Sleep!
    Sometimes a wink or two would do
    Take you to morning straight away
    Get inside your blankets, don't delay
    Close your eyes as if they're sealed with glue

    Beep!
    The anticipated rumpus
    Of the ol’rooster clock
    On your feet, now, don’t be shocked
    You’ve always seemed so vigorous

    Weep!
    My eyes shuffle and flicker about
    Regret for such short-lived sleep
    For sleep never was cheap
    So open your eyes, wide and loud

    Sometimes, perfection can destroy the piece.
