insomniac

Deprived of sleep for nearly a week
So the doctor says, Have a seat.
Thinking nows a good time for me to unwind
And explain what I do with my time
Is it my fault I didnt make any sense
As I spoke of our national defense
Or of the cheating wife I do blame
For creating in me a sense of shame
Insane, I know, where our minds go
But then this is a known symptom, so
I divert to my reason for showing
My very reason for going
I was sleep deprived for nearly a week
And the doctor said, Have a seat.
Before deciding that it was a good time
To my mental capabilities define
Doctor I dont think your listening
Or else youd be up and running
Looking for a place for me to sleep
A sleep so very deep
Not keeping me up talking
While you stand there gawking
And wondering why everything I say
Comes out in some strange way
Do you think youd make any sense
Speaking in your defense
After nearly a week without sleep
When into this nightmare you did creep?
Now not only are you tired
But youre at risk of being fired
Straight onto the mental ward
Where you are to be stored
And of course nobodies listening
To your original reason for coming
Because instead everyones decided
That your brains been blighted
Lost consciousness of the fact
That you came there intact
After just about a week
Without any sleep
Well I cry malpractice
Because Im not some cactus
Some brain dead plant
You can simply transplant
No Im a human
A full-grown man
Who had a reaction
Momentarily lost traction
At the onset of war
Whos mind did soar
Recalling his training
And found the trip too draining
