Sleep is For the Weak

By Josh Vogt

Why sleep when there’s work to be done?

Why sleep when you already see the sun?

Sleeping is for those who walk but don’t run.

Sleeping is for those who had no fun.

You can’t sleep because you procrastinate.

You can’t sleep and you forgot you never ate.

The work took over and it will not abate.

The work took over and it’s almost too late.

The morning is coming so you’d better hurry up.

The morning is coming and you’re ‘bout to blow up.

You try to make coffee but you shake and spill the cup.

You try to make coffee so you can bear to stand up.

Sleep is for the weak, and you’ve things to finish.

Sleep is for the weak, but your strength continues to diminish.

You really hope these classes are quick.

You know you’re about to drop like a brick.
