Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Troublemakers

Can't sleep?  Why not?
   Drink a lot?  Feverish hot?

Indigestion?  Sinus congestion?
   Arthritis pain?  Half insane?
 
Constant wheezing?  Bouts of sneezing?
   Drug abuse?  Device overuse?
 
Relative died?  Stock market slide?
   Spouse cheating?  Overeating?
 
All these are troublemakers, true
   Others sleep ~ Why's insomnia picked you?

Michelle Faulkner September 17, 2018 at 2:22 PM This sounds like the start of some slick sales pitch (I mean that as a compliment, believe it or not) Gershon Wolf September 17, 2018 at 6:17 PM Hmmm. If it's insomnia that's being sold, don't buy it, Michelle!!

Ilene Bauer September 17, 2018 at 11:50 AM great poem, gershon! alas, none of your reasons apply to me but i have been having many bouts of insomnia - wish i knew of a way to turn off the mind... Gershon Wolf September 17, 2018 at 6:17 PM ---just as they don't apply to me either, and boy do I have insomnia bad...

Tom Cunningham September 17, 2018 at 3:15 AM Shame we can't delete these from our brains hard drive, oh to have a good nights sleep. Tom Gershon Wolf September 17, 2018 at 6:16 PM You're so right...But once insomnia strikes, I don't think it ever goes away...It's just kind of lurking there, waiting to strike again and again and again...
