Sleep

...not in too good humor today, need my rest...

Sleep…


 


Okay, now can I get some sleep?


The neighbors have visited,


The sewer tanks been pumped,


My rent is paid, and Rufuz walked,


Did my shopping and cleaned my house,


Washed the car, fed the neighborhood mouse…


 


Is it okay with everyone that I now take a nap?


Damn the torpedo’s, the next person that stops will get slapped,


Took a shower, shaved and like that,


Rufuz is out on the leash, now I can relax and take a crap…


 


After that I will sleep and dream like I deserve,


I am in great need; I am running out of reserves,


I just want to curl up with a good book,


Watch some TV this weekend and relax,


Just once I would like to do what I plan,


Just once I want to sit here and eat my snacks…


 


Good night…© ed ~ 3/12/05

Ed,

Sleep? What's that????? LOL

I hear you--

Do what I did--get a CD of the ocean waves, non-subliminal, without music--just pure wavesong--put that on, and I guarantee, you'll sleep better--I hadn't slept more than four/five hours a night (IF I WAS LUCKY), due to this damn pinched nerve--until I spent the night in Galveston, before my cruise--hotel right there on the ocean...SNOOOOOORE!!!!!!!!!!! ALL NIGHT LONG! Slept better on the ship (save for that first night, whee! 30 foot waves *barrrrf* LOL), and so I bought the CD--have slept SOOOOOO much better. :)

Excellent write--hope you find the rest you need

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)

For me, Eddie M, it would be slapping the phone! Is it possible to effectively teach a phone not to ring by slapping it? I'll let you know. (grin) katy xox

I like that part about the next person that wakes me is going to get slapped. I can relate to that.

We all need some time to relax and it really seems that two days is not enough. With house cleaning, grocery shopping, errands and laundry, most of the weekend is devoted to...well...WORK!! Fortunately, I have a 3 day weekend every week which allows me to get all my stuff done on Friday so I can have some time to myself, Right??? Wrong!!! I still never seem to get a break. LOL I hope you enjoy your weekend, Ed. It is about 70 degrees here today so my restful weekend is now full of outdoor chores to get things cleaned up and ready for spring.
Take care,
Sherry

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
