The Desire to Sleep

Often what we're reaching towards
Are the most insane rewards.
What we'd like most is to sleep
And not hear alarms go beep...

Times are changing, so they say -
Get things done, and hope and pray
Sometime we'll go nighty-night,
Reawake when sun shines bright.

Here comes bedtime, finally,
Bed clothes on, now wait and see
What it takes to rise again,
But for now, we'll snooze 'til then!

A splendid wink's a healthy cause,
Peaceful rest, a stressless pause -
Golly, there's no time to wait;
Go to bed, it's getting late!
