DINOSAURS AND JELLY BEANS

I had a really good sleep last night. I think it's down to two very important factors.

1. I didn't go to work yesterday
2. I am not at work today

I don't always sleep well. Sometimes, dreaming is a bit of a luxury for my tired brain. However, I'm not convinced my brain is being honest with me. As soon as I switch off, it seems to switch itself on.

Here's an odd little poem I wrote about being asleep.

Dinosaurs and Jelly Beans

Last night my brain refused to think
And told me it was on the blink
It made my eyelids flutter shut
And gave my world a power cut
My senses twitched with phantom doubt
My brain had switched my body out

But then as I was fast asleep
My brain woke up within the deep
And painted coloured dreaming scenes
Of dinosaurs and jelly beans
Of bravest knights and evil queens
And playing jazz in New Orleans

For somehow while we slumber by
Our brains are free to think and fly
Unfettered by the daylight hours
Of working out these lives of ours
I wonder what I'd do if I
Could let my thinking reach the sky
