Pantoum on Sleeping and Siesta comic poem 344 by Angela Lansbury

 I want to work

But my eyes shut

I should not shirk

Stuck in a rut

But my eyes shut

I jerk awake

Stuck in a rut

Woke at daybreak

I jerk awake

I do my best

Woke at daybreak

I need some rest

I do my best

Fight thoughts that keep

I need some rest

I need to sleep

Fight thoughts that keep

Me up since dawn

I need to sleep

Don't speak, just yawn

Me up since dawn

Snooze through daylight

Don't speak just yawn

I'll sleep at night

Snooze through daylight

I should not shirk

I'll sleep at night

I want to work.

Fight thoughts that keep me from siesta

Do not want to miss the fiesta.
