The best way to sleep at night
Is to be pious, or obtuse.
Since I am neither,
I do not sleep at night.
From time to time,
I convince myself I am one or the other.
These are the wonderful nights
That I sleep like a mummy.
Inevitably, though, my rest is interrupted
And I am put on display for the whole world to see.

Love it. I rarely sleep well, and now I know why. Very good.
Thanks. Hopefully one day we’ll both get a good night of sleep.
I love this poem especially the last line. I feel that way when I do not get enough sleep – just hopelessly unable to function.
Thank you. I know the feeling of being hopelessly unable to function all to well….
As an insomniac myself, I can relate. Well done!
Thanks for the comment. I hope you get some sleep soon.
You’re welcome!
Very nice.
it’s 3 a.m. and I am still up.
That just about explains it.
I forgot how to “go to” sleep.
Me too. Fortunately for me, it’s only midnight here.
