Sleep

The teacher talks in class
I’m hoping that I’ll pass
My eyes begin to ache
Can’t seem to stay awake
I think I need more sleep

I’m sitting on my bed
With half my homework read
My head begins to nod
I feel a little odd
I think I need more sleep

When exiting the shower
I find it’s been an hour
I must have caught a wink
At least I will not stink
I think I need more sleep


Last week I caught a cold
It’s gotten kind of old
I cough and sneeze and cough
Can’t seem to turn them off
I think I need more sleep

There seems to be a trend
That doesn’t have an end
It’s something that I lack
I think I’ll hit the sack
And finally get more sleep
