“Ode to my Bed”

written last year, and found this morning while looking through my files

When I’m exhausted and feel rather dead,

When I need a place just to rest my poor head,

When I am sleepy, when I am tired,

When I am bored and feel quite uninspired,

I go to my bed and begin to count sheep.

Before I know it, I’ve fallen asleep.

To fall asleep, perchance, to dream

Is loved even better than peaches and cream.

For sleep is the greatest of parts of my life.

I just go to sleep and forget all my strife.

I think I’ll submit it to the school’s literary magazine. Muah.
