:'(Catching Some Sleep ==================== Every night as dark sets in My thoughts begin to race. And through the dark, all night long It’s sleep that I will chase. Through the shadows the menace sprints, Always just out of reach. But if I asked him why he runs, He’d just laugh and screech. And though I’ll chase him all those hours, I never seem to tire. Instead of doing his only job, The lazy toad would rather retire! He laughs at my frustration At spending my nights awake. It always seems to amuse him To make my poor eyes ache. And so I’m doomed to spend my nights Always tossing and turning. For I’ll never manage to catch that imp And for rest I’ll always be yearning. (Written during on of my many restless nights. Hopefully something to make all insomniacs laugh!)

ah, yes.. i have experienced this many times as well. this piece is well writen, but there are a few spots where the rhythm gets a little twisted up. other than that, i loved it!
