she’s up and atom
7pm roam
probably almost ready for a nap
that quick 
cat naps
and
wine sips...

Blind as a bat
incontinent as a baby

Gentle smooth lover
Naps over and over!...

flirt and play in April rain
drowsy from late spring fatigue
sleep tight in green grass...

coins are scarce--I find I am

up, quick naps, totaling half

Gazing at the rear of my head
Many follicles are long since dead
Father Time is always sure to win
These naps are lookin' awful thin
Shall I shave my dome instead?...

There were some rude people from Slytrap
who only new how to write mean crap,
so on they all squiggled,
and manically giggled,
while Shakespearian fops took cat naps....

Tick tock, broke rocks
Speed trap, day naps
Heartbreak, heaven sake
Truck stop, kick rocks
Boon-docks, Stop watch

Silliness always wins hands down
We need more humor, enter the clown
My name is Happy Jack
Laugh while taking a nap

A lonely old man whose woes always increase
has befriended five Central Park geese
Now home in the Bronx
he just eats, naps and honks
finding joy, contentment and peace

April Fools Day remember that
Back in the olden days before I took naps
A young whipper-snapper
Full of vim and vigor
Played tricks on old people and all that crap...

They may cause a mental mishaps,
Shortness of mind,
After left behind,
Which will be of time a long lapse.

   I snatch cherries from her plump tree

while grandmother naps

Needing extra sleep 'cause
nodding off in day time.
Nestling on the couch or
nice and comfy on bed.
Not just for small children;
night owl activities
necessitate a nap.

Nap
Babies like them
Angers toddler child
Cranky attitude puts me there
Research says teenagers need them the most
They are the hardest to convince
Bones and teeth need them bad
Old people game

the inlaws and outlaws have left
the turkey has so much less heft
got pies for the flies
and naps for the eyes
the icebox has suffered from theft

but

still got ‘nuff leftovers to make peach gobbler...

Always wondered why Grandpas always took naps
Now that I'm old, I no longer wonder bout these chaps
No choice, it's part
Of being an old fart
From one to the next, not much time has elapsed...

Turn back the clocks this weekend they sing
To gain back the hour we lost in the spring
Afternoon naps 
Took care of that
Plus a couple of weeks more in case you're inquiring
