Couldn't Care Less Couldn't Care Less went to bed, A cap of reason on his head, He found to keep his dreams at bay, A night cap was the only way, His night shirt knit from dreamless sleep, Held guilty secrets in its keep, He found the shirt insombulant, The pockets torn, inelegant, And as he tried in vain to sleep, A secret slipped from shirt to sheet, Transformed into a nightmare thing, Upon his leg began to cling, Then stealthy, climbed it, up the bed, Beneath the cap, into his head, Into his conscience deftly bore, And Couldn't Care Less was no more. |

Hi J.M. Thanks for your response, Its good to hear from you again. There are so many new people on here. I will try and just keep dipping my toe in the passions pool, now and then, life is flying by so fast at the moment, I'm flying out to the states on Monday to see my girlfriend we havent seen each other for 5 months. Take care Olias E.R. Thank you for your kind response to my post, i tried to give it a nursery rhyme quality and I'm glad that you liked it. Regards Olias |
