Yesterday my brother and his wife
and his wife's sister dropped in
For the night
Before they headed to South Carolina
For a little vacation

Everything went wrong that night
The cat peed on the newspaper
And I changed it out yet again
Then a couple hours later
The dern cat up and decides to pee on the rug

Then as I get ready to go to bed
An itchy throat I do get
I don't know what caused it
All I know right now is
As I type this morning I still got it

At 3:23 AM I am awoken
By my brother knocking on my parents bedroom door
All I could hear was
His throat was on fire and him
Asking my mom for some kind of medicine

So then the light in the bathroom
And in the kitchen come to life
I say to myself
Oh great there goes more of my sleep
So I decided to crawl out my bed

I walked in to the kitchen
And mom said for me to go back to bed
My sister-in-law and brother say hello
I told my mom it was easier said than done
My throat has itched half the night

So she gave me some medicine
And said go back to bed
I crawl back to bed
But the lights still blares on
Until 4:50 AM when they finally left

They decided to leave before 7:30 AM
Because my brother wanted to drive
While he was feeling good
But why oh why
Did he decide to ruin my sleep

I have the lack of sleep blues
But I am still at work
Doing what I am supposed to
Even though I wish
I wasn't so dern sleepy

Poetry is beauty in words.
