Forty Winks These forty winks, I long A colloquial today. It means that I am gone, Gone, but not too far away. A subjective impose One I dare no matter where Only a little doze. No matter the couch or chair. It's just a pinch of rest, A withdraw from boring things. A recollect at best. A slip into better things It is that little cause, Soothes my weary older life A helpful little pause But irritates my wife. She nudges me to blink I do so with vacant stare She passes me a drink And I hold it unaware. There is no harm in forty winks It's better than some forty drinks. |

Wow! Can't be bad, first two poems I look at and both make me laugh..  HUGS ------------------ You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give. |

Sy, I think many men take a nap with their eyes open while their wives are talking. It's the natural order of things. Good work. |

Munda, Thank you. Balladeer, I believe you are right. Nan, Have one on me and send me the bill. Denise, Mixing them up would be a good idea. That is winks and drinks. Systematic, Thanks for the cute. |
