Bedtime.

You're lying in your bed night.

You've had a cough and pee.

Peering at the clock you see

It's only half past three.

Returning to the land of nod

You count a flock of sheep.

You must have counted umpteen flock

And still you're not asleep.

Not being able to sleep like this

Will make you late for work?

You've been retired twenty years

Had you forgotten. Jerk?

Did you lock the car last night

Now you're not quite sure.

And what about my ailing chest

They say there is no cure.

The thoughts go whirling round and round

You cannot switch them off.

Just to make things that bit worse

You need another cough.

At last when all exhausted

You finally get to sleep.

A very welcome hour or two

Before that alarm clock's bleep.

The sun shines through the curtains

Spring is in the air

And once you're up and going

You feel you haven't a care.
