Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
While in the zzzzz zone
counted the sheep
then had a sneeze
at no 9999.90 alone
a dispute was declared
and a recount was ordered
is why I am
stacked up
at three o clock
in the morning now.
Aaaw i groan
at the hour now
and aaay ..
start from one again.
Forget the count
rather hum
" Helllo darkniss my old friend .."
in the peace of night
where this little
piece of time
remain calm
until the morning hush
when the sirens
begin to rush.
where to I rise ..
and yawnnnn yeah
you such a rose
in the morning.
my toe's are
still blooming cold
and the birds
already had their worms.
