Sleep

Sleep

Sleep, oh how I miss thee

Let me count the ways

Sleep, your waning quality is poorly timed

For 'tis the season to toilet train

When you left

You took the great virtue

Patience

Sleep, why did you confiscate my 

Sense of humor too?

Taking everything literally is

Problematic for my marriage

Sleep, I received your replacement

Hormonal Surges

I'd rather you return

Being near tears for no apparent reason

For hours on end

Is

Not

My idea of a good time

Sleep, your absence has been noted 

By

My 

Two year old

"Tired mommy?"

Sleep, your recommendation for

An earlier bed time has been noted

What about my application sent to the 

Uninterrupted department?

Sleep, I understand that these

Multiple wakings in the night

Are part of God's preparation for the

Coming baby

Please know that you are

Dearly

Missed

Sleep, even if you can't stay long

A visit now and then

Would be

Much

Appreciated

Sleep, I remember when you

Took a vacation about two years ago

Your replacement

Near Delusional

Was not

Welcome

My application to the uninterrupted department

Wasn't granted for

Over

A
Year

Please don't take such a long vacation

When baby sister arrives

*** I wrote this poem last week after several days of little sleep.  I figured writing a funny poem was better than lashing out at Kyle and Eliana.
