"The Sandman's Sense of Humor" You are but a memory That haunts me even still You plague my lonely nights and dreams And torment me until Dawn finally awakens me Though waking life is worse: I stagger onward through the day Toward sleep’s impending curse And every night, though I refuse To let my eyelids fall, My wretched body never fails To heed the Sandman’s call And when it does, to my despair, It’s always you I see Your raven hair, your emerald eyes Forever haunting me… AMdG For Sarah "My candle burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--it gives a lovely light!" -Edna St. Vincent Millay |

"The Sandman's Sense of Humor" ~ what an adorable title! ~ and the poem, followed suit! Perhaps if you left him a snack and a note, and then asked the Sandman to let you get at least one good night's sleep, he will. It's worth a try!   EA |
