Sleep, you ornery rascal, <br />why is it you elude me? <br /> <br />Like a crush, you tease the senses, <br />you taunt me with your charms. <br /> <br />Needing you, I'm bribed and baited, <br />much smitten with desire. <br /> <br />Your allure in awkward places <br />has me always hiding yawns. <br /> <br />You deflower me in a movie, <br />you corrupt me on my couch. <br /> <br />Should you take up prostitution, <br />might I gladly buy some time? <br /> <br />Sleep come take me lying down, <br />not driving in my car! <br /> <br />Then sighing in depravity, <br />again I call from bed - <br /> <br />Sleep, you naughty pervert, <br />I want you, take me now!<br /><br />C.J.
