for a week

Am so sleepy, aim to write a poem about sleep.

I Could sleep for a week,
I Could sleep near a creek.

I Could sleep for a day,
I Could sleep in some hay.

I Could sleep until noon,
I Could sleep 'neath the moon.

I Could sleep under a horse,
I Could sleep par for the course.

I Could sleep in a car,
I Could sleep very far.

I could sleep through a bore,
I could sleep through a war,

I could sleep with my cat,
I could sleep on a mat,

I could sleep on a roof,
I could sleep for a spoof.

I could sleep on a train,
I could sleep through the rain.

I could sleep while it snows,
I could sleep while it froze.

I could sleep with ease,
I could sleep and get "Zs."

I could sleep through news,
I could sleep without clues.

I could sleep in North Carolina,
I could sleep in South Carolina.

I could sleep in May,
I could sleep in L.A.

I could sleep in my bed,
I could sleep by a sled.

I could sleep in the dark,
I could sleep in Hyde Park.

I could "sleep like a log,"
I could sleep during fog.

I Could sleep through an election,
I Could sleep in any section.

I Could sleep dreaming of a cow,
I Could sleep dreaming of Wow,
I could sleep on Jones-Dow,
I Could sleep wondering how,
I Could sleep thinking of a plow,
I Could sleep meditating a la Tao,

I Could sleep Pow! -- right Now.

But instead of Sleep -- Vitamins, and Mental Energization.

(Holy pillows-&-blankets, if you type the word "sleep" so many times, after a while it just doesn't look right. ...)
