Insomnia (The 3rd & Final Movement)
Trying to sleep,
Counting some sheep.
Brain’s all a'mess;
I’m starting to stress!
Yearning to doze,
Brain spasm grows.
No rest in sight;
That Sandman’s a shite!
Bored of this crap,
I must have a nap.
So then I guess…
I’ll try to “de-stress”!
No sleep from that,
I reach for the cat.
Wipe down my middle,
Then kick out sweet Tiddles.
Losing my rag,
My sanity sags.
My thoughts scream and ache:
“God, why? For fuck’s sake?!”
I start work at eight,
It’s getting too late
For even an hour!
…I’ll jump in the shower.
But fate’s quite a trip;
In shower I slip.
Crack open my head
And fuck me, I’m dead!
At last, off I go
And blood starts to flow.
My dreams down the drain
With bits of my brain.
And so, in the end
The moral dear friends
Is: showers are shitty,
Just make do with kitty.
