I have not slept in several days
It's affected me in many ways.
My mind is numb, my eyelids close,
And late-night losers come in droves.
Don't want to study, but cannot sleep,
The TV's much too far to see--
First it's too hot, then it's too cold,
And I must do as I am told,
And sit here all the long night through
And wonder what there is to do.
My pillow's calling out my name.
This job is getting pretty lame.
So, one last time, I scan a card,
To stay awake is MUCH too hard,
But I have promises to keep,
And hours, still, before I sleep...
