Sleep? What Sleep?

What's all this? Waking up at four
I don't know about you but I'd like to sleep a bit more
at this time there is only so many jobs you can do
or limitless times you can go to the loo

I've tried reading and watching a soap
but that just leaves me wanting to mope
Hot chocolate or milk have not yet worked
and someone has stolen any dreams which had lurked

So what does that mean for the rest of the day?
It's gonna be a long one I hear you say
The coffee will need to be flowing
As that's what it takes to keep me going

I'll find myself something useful to do at this time
a bundle of ironing or some cooking would be fine
But that seems so wrong when it's sleep I desire
if I shut my eyes tight my slumber may transpire

No, once I'm awake that is it
I'll go downstairs and maybe keep fit
A bit of yoga before the hour of seven
oh that would have been Jane Fonda's idea of heaven

I suppose I can sleep when I'm dead
Bon Jovi often sing that song in my head
Oh that's it I'll listen to some songs
because in music that's where my soul belongs
