I came to hospital to sleep I'd have done better on the wharves The beds are really short, not sweet I think they're made for dwarves The beds are also narrow Made for Barbie or for Ken And it chilled me to the marrow To think I might fall off and then The nurses come around Every hour or so Say to you, "be sleeping sound" But just won't let you go They stick things in your ear And clamp things on your finger I think it's really clear They don't want you to linger The monitors keep beeping It really is quite trying If I said that I'd done sleeping You know I would be lying Annoyed by nurses dear To add to my confession They only tried to keep me here I'm in the wrong profession The people in white gowns Smile across the way All look the same except for crowns And patience is the word we play So home again to sleep I guess this never ends My well being in their keep and I made a lot of friends. Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

A very nice poem, Has a light heartiness to it, Something I could never do about that subject. Hope you were able to get your sleep And have some pleasant dreams. Gloom |

It is so true that they wake you to offer a sleeping pill. I've never quite understood but always get better real fast so I can go home to get some rest. |

Ah Kethry...putting light into the subject again! Good to see you little one...here, come and sit close to the Sun... and we'll shine together! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
