 CURING INSOMNIAI've searched ancient writings, a sleepless cure to find. It seems the Greeks were tired out; with Olypic Games in mind. Romans gave a gentle hint, and perhaps here is a clue? In, "Amor Omnia vincit" - A Latin saying, 'tis true! Means, "love conquers everything", or "Amor vincit omnia", they commend it as a cure for this darn insomina. So love as much as you can, within your legal right, I bet when you are all through, you'll soundly sleep at night. |

  (smiles) Oh Sharon, I absolutely agree, I too have trouble sleeping a lot sometimes then when I think of my sweet Joanna and how much I love her, her smile makes me dream and I fall asleep before I know it! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, your words are always so delightful to read, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sharon, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I saw her in the bar that night So gorgeous to my eyes. I propositioned her and she said yes, to my surprise! I was so shocked I asked her Why she said yes eagerly. She set her drink down on the bar And said these words to me... "I have insomnia, you see. Sometimes it's hard to cope. I asked the doc and he advised That I should get some dope!"  |

As the King of the night Owls I can say it works ......sometimes, but even if it does not it was fun medication......I liked the poem very much. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |

'Tis true, 'tis true! 'Cept when thy hubby's on night shift... Then insomnia's not a burden, Quite contrary, It is a gift! I love your poem and your rational thinking here! ~Sydney McLean |

Whenever Miss Mysteria has trouble finding sleep, She call up Justin Genious to get her drug real cheap. Too often we have stolen from Nurse Crachet’s pharmacy. No wonder Miss Mysteria writes poems in ecstasy!  |
