Getting tired
Been so wired
Word-flow gone flat
My spry went splat

Thinking dormant
Laptop torment
Flashing cursor
Makes things worser

Both eyes straining
Sleep calls gaining
Close the screen-lid
Wake time outbid

Restless sleeping
Ideas steeping
Unique word plays
Fear I’ll lose phrase

Turn on lamp light
Damn it’s so bright
Recall verb noun
Write a note down

Spot the clock hour
Time to shower
Work day starting
Soon departing

Don’t think I slept
Promise unkept
Stayed up too late
Still in dream state

Morning too soon
Just said “g’night moon”
Coffee perking
Still ain’t working

I’m so tired
Must get wired
