What I woke Up With at 3:00 a.m.

It's frightening what your mind comes up with in the middle of the night! At the risk of perceived insanity, here's a taste:

I SWALLOWED A DADDY LONG LEGS

In my sleep but not so deep
I swallowed a Daddy Long Legs

I've been working day and night
To accomplish a host of projects
The end nowhere in sight...
Completion has been my object

Last night I worked on greeting cards
A multitude required
My glass door open to the yard
Where I spray glued until tired

In my sleep but not so deep
I swallowed a Daddy Long Legs

In and out from yard to room
I carried papers sticky
I was not alone I found out soon
I found out very quickly

Joining me were moths and flies
Mosquitoes close behind
Regretfully, but no surprise
Too busy to pay them mind

In my sleep but not so deep
I swallowed a Daddy Long Legs

It was not until I closed the lights
To the end of an arduous day
That I realized the potential for unwanted bites
By my intrusive guests at play

I hastily retired and tucked myself in
Retrieving all the covers
Protecting the attack of my tasty skin
Unbeknownst to me there were others!

In my sleep but not so deep
I swallowed a Daddy Long Legs
