Sleep At Last

Dire Straits met Rosie in her kitchen, wearing only a pair of Spandex boxer shorts. As friends, they had gone to Hammond, IN to see the UFO Convention. There they were amazed by exhibits about lunar craters and wormholes, as well as how some scientists advocated using nuclear waste as a new type of rocket fuel. Afterward, they went to wine and dine at Tid-Bits, a bar and grill where Dire had once did a gig as a DJ. Tonight, however, Rosie was bothered by insomnia. Whatever medicine she took to try to alleviate it just left her drifting in pain. When Dire came in, he reminded her of her appointment the next day with two vacuum salesmen. "Perhaps it's your nervousness about that meeting that is keeping you awake", he said. "You may be right Dire, and the running around today didn't help any. I'll call them to reschedule the appointment." They sat down on the sofa to watch some TV, and Rosie nodded off to sleep during a commercial for the new Listerine soaked tissue.
