HEART-TUGGING TIRED
–
Exhausted from a sleepless night,
He’s hard-put to put up a fight…
Heaves a sigh–
Would like a good cry–
Release…so he would feel right.
–
He found the right issue
To use his tissue…
Employed on the grounds
Of not having rounds,
He misses that he used to!
–
Didn’t quite make it to tears,
But the potential was good it appears…
A little pity is fine
If kept in line,
When back to reality it steers!
–Jonathan Caswell
WILL HE WAKE UP?
Set the alarm clock early,
Feeling rather squirrelly…
Keep waking up
Nervous and abrupt,
He’s feeling very surly.
–
Didn’t get to sleep
Till early morning to keep…
Time to rest
Went to bed half-dressed,
And now the clock seems to creep.
–
A long time of dreaming beckons,
Actual time: seconds…
Two minutes seem long,
Anxiety’s strongly
Influenced by time reckoned.
–
He manages waking before
The alarm…his feet hit the floor…
This troubled night
Will be all right
When tonight he can sleep some more.
