Insomnia

One hour to go before midnight
A comfortable bed is a wonderful sight
With folded sheets and pillow cases to match
I’ve got a lot of zzzzzs to catch.

One hour to go before it’s two
My mind has still so much to do
I pray to God I’d get some sleep
Before the light of dawn can creep.

Just then I realized my folly
I had taken too much coffee
So here I go waiting for the sun
Wish I stayed longer and had more fun.

One hour to go before eight
Jesus, Mary and Joseph -- I’m going be late
Without thinking, here I am again
Smoking a cigarette and drinking caffeine.
