Couldn't get to sleep last night
Had an afternoon nap
And took the edge off

Couldn't get to sleep last night
Phone call with my sweetheart
Energized my brain

Couldn't get to sleep last night
Stuff re work kept churning--
Possibilities

Couldn't get to sleep last night
I've read all the fun books
Couldn't read-to-sleep

Finally got to sleep last night
Television zonked me --
Soporific tube

Woke up at the usual time
Bones and joints feel funny
Mean between the eyes

Sitting at the coffee shop
Reading, slogging dark-roast
Contemplating day

Take a nap or take a hike?
I'm set to meet a friend
In the afternoon!

Need to get to sleep tonight:
Take a hike, see my friend!
These will help me sleep

Tonight.
