Some Sleepy Couplets

How to cure insomnia.

 Sleepy Couplets

If only sleep was as simple

As closing one’s eyes

And dreams a choice

From which to decide

If only the tossing and turning

Were but a nightly exercise

And the worrisome torments

Could be cast casually aside

But there is no easy remedy

For eyes opened wide

There’s no simple solution

That hasn’t been tried

So put a good book close by

Next to your bedside

And before you know it

Before you realize…

That Morpheus will have arrived

And sleep (blessed sleep)

 …Has gently…quietly

…Closed your eyes...
