Poem Artwork

Two Benedryls,
Two Ambien’s.
Think tonight I will sleep,
And hope to awaken in morning,
Another time of death will I cheat…

My eyelids already are getting heavy,
Wish I were surrounded of women a bevy,
Glad I don’t drive any kind of Chevy,
Sleep is overflowing for me like water over a levy…

Not long will I stay awake,
Tonight I could sleep through an earthquake,
I know, I know you think me just so much a fruitcake,
Sleep will finally tonight of my body slake.

I slake sleep sometimes, too! And you are certainly as heavy as a 60-year-old fruitcake!

Didn't know you had it in for America's "drive the USA," most popular vehicle. I always liked my "fix or repair daily." While I drove my 73 Chevy Monte Carlo over 500,000 miles for 23 years once, I'm not in love with them like so many others are. See?… We agree on something.

Between the Bennies and the Ambees, you should wake up refreshed. Hope so anyway. John

Yeah, I'd say those two medications will help give you a great night's sleep, Ed. Hope so anyway.
