Tired 2 0r 2 Tired

Tired 2 0r 2 Tired There’s another hole My right foot has sympathetically Decided to leach me out of Going down, disaffiliating, deflation of the day Forgive me, eleven hours non-stop Leaves me numb in the head I won ! Isn’t that wonderful……………… huh what ! Yes, thank you……………………………….so much Two coffee cups make me jitter But don’t stop me sleepily …………………………………………..uh… what was that; sorry ? ! Playing this slow Tangerine Dream music doesn’t help Three shots of vodka even less I need a pick me up Or someone to pick me up And put me to bed Tuck me in and sing me a lullaby I want to be snooky ookums cuddled drowsily And plugged the holes in my feet With giant pillows Do I really need the extra money ? Tomorrow threatens to work on me with extra-considered vigour Gee thanks for that mañnana Thick eyes my bleary vision sticks As I melt into a pool of snoring dreams Propped on my elbows staring blankly at this screen Give it up Save the page Close the window Go To Bed ……………………………………………uh …. Sorry …. What was that ? !

Wow, Stunning image here- you have such raw talent, I would have never been able to do something like this-Half asleep-Oh no~I remember when I was chatting with a friend and I was falling asleep, Oh boy all the garble I was typing made no sense, It was like a 2 year old was playing with the keyboard...This was Creatively crafted considering you were dead tired...Awesome write...Try to get some rest and God Bless ~Tyesha

You make it very inviting to write with 3 shots of vodka in you - I mean me. I think it would be fun, but I would have to wait till the morning to look at the garble that was the poem I thought I wrote before posting. You, on the other hand - well, just how do you do that anyway? This is once again really awesome. Sweet dreams. Love, Shar
