I feel sleepy

Awake all night

Tossing and turning

Like a ship at sea

- – -

Rock ‘n’ rolling

Being buffeted 

By giant waves

When will sleep come?

It’s three in the morning

I’ve to be up early

And I’ve been trying

To sleep

For four long hours

- – -

I know I suffer from insomnia

But I never knew

My life could be

This miserable

I’m crotchety

Irritable

And are virtually 

Pulling my hair out

- – -

I’ve taken a bubble bath

Drank more than a glass

Of warm milk

Pop sleeping pills

But to no avail

- – -

But my husband

Doesn’t help one bit

He keeps pestering me 

About sex

When I’ve to be up early

For work and am miserable

- – -

He’s like a dog

I let him know

I say, “let sleeping dogs lie

and those that can’t

try to sleep”

But he won’t quit

I’m going to kill that man
