Restless Sleep

A restless night sleep
A restless night sleep
All the evening long
A restless night sleep

Tossing and turning
Tossing and turning
Sleep is hard to seek
Bess wakes up tired

She looks for a sale
For a new mattress
Going store to store
Until she finds it

Hi Darlene I think instead of a new mattress you need to have some partner , may be a cat or a friend.......... if our inside is peaceful then it does not matter whether we sleep on earth or on a new bed.............Anyway , you again point out an issue during sleep which no one ever write about.Many people had the same feeling during sleep including me but no one ever penned it out.... thanks and have a sound sleep......

I turned my mattress around to see if that would work out. Have a nice day my friend.

Could be a little more descriptive and in-depth but a cute poem nonetheless.

The repeated lines drive the message through, Darlene. It's terrible when we are tired and yet sleep refuses to humor us! ~ Best regards // paul
