SLEEPLESS

I will not be posting anything tonight as my post time has moved to near midnight. In order to keep despair from being too great LOL,I'll blog this  little doodle

Tonight I won't get any rest
  occassional catnap at best
  I'll pray for uninterupted sleep
  the kind thats both restful and deep

As soon as I chance to lie down
  the hounds will commence mournful sound
  the pack gathered not far from here
  their barks and howling much too near

Their quarry hasn't got much chance
  to even show defiant stance
  before long they'll reach their prey
  and harrass it night and day

Tonight I won't get any sleep
  although so tired I could weep
  "what"you ask"could be the reason?"
  the neighbor's dog has come in season
