Sleeping In

There's a joy about sleeping in,

Like some delightful little sin,

The world tries to deny.


Wrapped up in a warm comfy bed,

Mimicking the rest of the dead,

Forced to arise with a sigh.

I love it TOO, Christopher. However, in my 50's now, I can tell my body does not accept it as eagerly any more. You might see yourself one day. Strange how one can need less sleep as one ages! I really enjoyed this. Congrats on your win.
