Playing Hide and Sleep

I went to bed to find some Sleep

And looked so hard and very deep

I looked in every place I know

But Sleep was no-where near in tow

I even looked beneath the bed,

But just found Waked-ness instead,

I looked inside the bottom drawer,

And even on the bedroom floor.

I looked so hard and all around,

But sadly Sleep, was never found.

I even looked out on the sea

But the waves washed Sleep away from me

I looked right up into the sky

But Sleep flew near and passed me by

I even looked beneath the earth

But Sleep just smiled with sarcastic Mirth

I looked upon the countryside

But Sleep did run and Sleep did hide,

I found no Sleep at all last night,

Tonight I’ll search again, with all my Might.
