...do I sleep too much...


Poem Artwork

My sleeping schedule all askew,
Sleeping in the day, rather than the night like all of you,
I am though getting used to living in this apartment, new,
Still seem to feel quite altogether blue…

Slept off and on all day today,
And still now at 10pm I am falling asleep,
Hopefully through the night I will sleep all the way,
Maybe instead of sheep, I should count jeeps…

New books I got to read,
They help me to sleep; they are what I need,
I have as well satisfied my need for feed,
Stuffing, mac n cheese and a bottle of water,
Time to shut this tube down,
Before I do of it slaughter…

If you still have a tube, be careful, because if your head butts that screen just right as you doze off, it may implode, giving you one hell of a big surprise!

By the way, if you carry out your threat and "do of it slaughter…", How will you be able to complain to us tomorrow?

"After fifteen minutes of inactivity, Ed's operating system automatically returns him to Sleep Mode."

Wow Brother, you've come a long way. When we were kids, it was only 5 minutes of inactivity before you started snoring again!

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
