Coffee House
Two AM and I struggle to stay awake
Perhaps its time to take my break
Lights are dim and patients sleeping
Reassuring sound of monitors beeping
Eyelids becoming heavy, fading fast
Needing to find some caffeine at last
Fill my cup to the very brim
Just the thing, a jolt, an acceptable stim
Not Starbucks, but that's alright
It still helps the "no sleep" fight
Just when I start to somewhat revive
The call light comes on in Room 105
Guess I'm off to comfort the sick
That cup of coffee did the trick......
