Inevitably Necessary
Sometimes it’s just sleep we need
Not another cup of caffeine
Or a brisk outdoor walk
Not even delightful, witty talk
Our bodies and minds
Need to recline
And get those cells to work
Rebuilding, repairing and restoring
You may hear a little snoring
That’s ok but here’s the truth
There is no substitute
We can try to prolong it
We can try to discount
The body will long
For the proper amount
Not bulls of crimson
No sugar filled or free beasts
What the body and brain need
Is just to get some sleep
Zzzzzzzzzzzz
