Insomnia...

Its long long way past midnight,
Yet still I'm wide awake,
My mind is working overtime,
About doing things to make..

Me Sleep......

Shall I do a crossword,
Shall I listen to a song,
Shall I go and potter round "that" shop,
Thats open all night long,
Shall I try and write a sonnett,
For all the world to read,
Or do one hundred sit ups,
At twice the average speed,
Shall I knit a woolly bobble hat,
In the palest shade of blue,
And if theres wool left over,
Shall I knit some mittens too,
Or, shall I just go back to bed,
For I know without a doubt,
That in forty minutes, when my alarm goes off,
I'll have suddenly flaked right out....
