Lack of Sleep

A Lack of sleep Can make you weep What to do the whole night through Silence deafening Noise grating Tossing and turning Memories churning Listen to music Watch TV Read a book Through old photos look Knit or crochet Play card games All to keep boredom at bay And irritation allay A regular routine for some As sleep does not come For others tiredness creeps in Eyelids flutter and close Finally the body begins to doze Forty winks Too short some think But better than being left without There is no doubt Sleep
