Sods Law

There you lay Minute by minute, hour every hour Clock watching Fighting with your mind to allow dreams Nightmares would be better even You don't care if milk is needed at 1.22 Or if the computer at work will do updates at 4.23 Dreams of dancing computers sound good right now Even bottles of milk chasing you with knives Anything, just something, need sleep Toss and turn, go the toilet, drink water Checking you've still got time for at least an hour Then half an hour before the alarm is due Eyes as heavy rocks Your mind slowly drifting You fight with all your strength to stay awake
