Oh To Sleep

So tired am I For to sleep For to dream but for me I cannot ‘tis Parkinson’s it would seem I sleep for just an hour or two Then wide awake oh what can I do I sit up I get up I visit the loo or go to the kitchen what else can I do Making a cuppa of Earl Grey tea in the hope it will make me feel sleepy Then back to bed My sleepy head can hardly keep tired eyes open Another hour But then again I am up and awake once more I try the chair with a pillow with a wrap Dozing gently I manage a nap Then look at the clock for me for to see the time ‘tis still only half past three...
