Are You Serious? Get Out!

Mr. sandman, this isn’t my dream,

looks are not what’s important to me.

Rose clover lips — don’t make me feel rested.

I’ll sleep with the fan and deal with mild congestion.

*

Sandman, leave me alone,

I’m doing just fine down here, on my own.

Please turn down that blasted beam.

Mr. sandman, I need some zzzzzz’s.

*

Sandman, you know what I need?

A good nights rest, so I can quit the visine.

I’ve had enough of your -romance and glitter -

I want to sleep all night and not use the shi****

*

Sandman, I’m sorry, I’m sure you mean well.

But, take all your promise’s and go straight to……

well,

Ok, maybe one thing…

I want a king sized comfy bed spring.

*

Sandman, get out of my room,

pawning your friends, at this hour is rude.

The only thing I need is your disappearing -

Unless you’ve got something for deep REM-ing

*

Sandman, let’s make a deal,

If you go away, I’ll agree to meet Neal.

Dude, for now I want to sleep.

Mr. sandman- bring me,

Please, please bring me,

Mr. sandman bring me — some zzzzzz’s.
