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.
