Tonight in my bedroom as I switched off the light
Much to my distress there began an awful fight!
We tussled and we wrestled it caused me quite a pain
But with every move I tried my fight with sleep just seemed in vain
It wanted to stay up with insomnia and wile the night hours away
It wouldn't even give in to my pleas of needing rest for a busy day
The hours kept on passing, it was now way past 2!
My desperation rising, I didn't know what to do
I tried coaxing with warm milk and soft music, even tried counting sheep
But every single thing I tried was simply mocked by sleep
Then in the early hours of dawning I gave out a desperate shout!
And exhaustion heard my pleas to sleep and came and knocked us out
