16 August 2012
Eyelids heavy in the gloom
Lights off, can't see across the room
Eyes the windows to my mind
Seeking rest, and soon they'll find
Ice clinks gently in my glass
The drink has knocked me on my ass
Working day so long and hot
My doorstep is the coolest spot
Nicely quiet as I look around
The garden's dark, there's not a sound
Sleepy, I may lay here tonight
Just one more glass to see me right
Pull night's blanket over me
Nothing left for me to see
Sleep then, dream, no shade of sorrow
And do it all again tomorrow...
