Its 3 AM I'm wide awake Wemt to bed at 11 PM Feeling tired I though I was ready for sleep Laid my head upon my pillow The room was silent But not my head I found myself wide awake I tossed and turned for a little while Hoping sleep would come Seeing this was futile thing I told myself You might as well get out of bed So I went to the kitchen Put the dishes in the dishwasher away Filled it with the dirty ones Washed them too. Deceided that I would make some stew. Our confused little dog didn't know What to do. So he wrestled with the cats a little while Then he looked at me as if to say If your not going to bed I will So he found a warm place to sleep I am glad you can sleep I said I still don't feel like going to bed So I cleaned off my desk Put all the old mail in the trash Still I didn't feel like I could crash So I turned on the computer Went to Piptalk Thinking if I read some poems I would relax No such luck I was still wide awake So I said to myself I'll write a poem Maybe there's something on my mind That's keeping me awake As you can see There was nothing there Because I wrote this crazy poem Now I'm starting to get weary I'm yawning I'm looking at the clock It's almost four I'm going back to bed Yawning Yawning On my way, Good night my friends I got to get some zzz's .......zzzzz.....zzzzzz.....zzzz |

Sorry to be laughing at your state of discomfiture, but I can't help myself! I, too, have had nights like that! ~ Almost to the very "T". Like yourself, I find that I might as well get some things done instead of wasting my time staring at the ceiling ~ and the clock!  You made good use of your time! You got some chores done and ended up with a terrific reality write, to boot! May you sleep well, this night! Sweet dreams! EA  |

Thanks for the comments, guess I am not the only one who has this problem once in a while. I have found that most of the time it is not any use fighting the Wake Awake Blues better to get up and do something. |
