Dr. Seuss Jet lagged




One O’ Clock
Two O’ Cock
Three O’ Clock
Four

It’s Not Yet time
For me feet
On the floor

Too many time zones
That I have leapt
Now I am home
But haven’t slept

I put up a fight
But cannot win
Haven’t slept all night
In who knows when

Sleeping pills
Washed with booze
My body chills
I can’t snooze

Gaze at my watch
All the night
A glowing blotch
That wakes me in spite

I cannot sleep
In a bed
I cannot sleep
In a shed
I cannot sleep
Here nor there
I cannot sleep
Anywhere

I cannot sleep in a tree
Jet Lag! You let me be
I do not sleep on a beach
I do not sleep with a leach
I do not sleep on a star
I do not sleep in the car

I do not sleep here nor there
I do not sleep anywhere
I do not sleep Tired-I-Am
