The Origin of Insomnia
Most fairy tales are gruesome; Where wolves and goblins hide;
They left me shaking in my bed; My eyeballs open wide!
Tales to reach us kids to teach us; To be wise and good;
Was scary stuff that kept me up; Recall these if you would:
Theres the tale of Jack and Jill; As up the hill they rushed;
But down they fell, got hurt as well; I think that they were pushed.
Remember the old woman; Who lived inside a shoe?
She had one kid too many; One had to go, we knew!
The farmers wife kept sharp her knife; to sever tails of mice:
Mice tails I knew where hid in stew, or green beans or the like.
I stayed away from curds and whey; Miss Muffet was a twit;
Arachnids love the stuff enough; To cuddle up to it!
I went to bed with fairy tales, then prayed my soul to keep;
(Just in case I passed away while I was sound asleep).
Beneath your bed; If youre well read; theyre planning our defeat!
Look out! Look out! When grown ups tout the joys of counting sheep!
