Invitation to go to sleep
As I laid in bed
Trying to go to sleep
I thought
"What are you waiting for, a written invitation?"
Then I giggled and thought
"Imagine what that invitation would look like, the invitation to go to sleep?"
You are hereby invited on this day, the 18th of August in the year of our Lord 2010, to go to sleep.
Please RSVP by midnight tonight.
Regrets only 1-ICA-NTS-lEEP.
And unfortunately I have to RSVP, because I can't sleep. And the invitation, while creating it is entertaining to me, didn't help.
It's like I have this busy signal in my head, you know the old mah, mah mah, something you actually don't ever hear anymore now that we have call waiting and voice mail and dial up is a thing of the past.
But I digress
That busy signal goes on and on
:Don't sleep"
"can't sleep"
"Don't sleep"
"Can't sleep"
You get the picture.
Redialing doesn't help either, it just brings you back to the busy signal.
Anyone know where the disconnect button is? How about the emergency shut off switch? Control Alt, delete? Anything?
I release one hell of a heavy sigh. I can hang up, but then I'm right back to where I started staring at the ceiling thinking:
"You are cordially invited..."
But wait, I can always create a menu for this event.
The appetizer would be a quick wash down of Sleep Eeze. This would be followed by a salad of mixed Melatonin with a full course meal of Ambien then made complete with a dessert of Klonopin, or some sort of anti-anxiety that will help you when you can't sleep. Not by helping you fall asleep mind you, but making it so you don't care you can't sleep because you're so anti-anxiety now.
Did I digress again? I believe I did.
That's okay though because digression is a distraction and distraction helps cure that busy signal which eventually may help you RSVP to that invitation to go to sleep.
The only question left is, what sort of gift do you get to an anti insomnia party? A one day pass to a rehab option form training. That's a gift that's guaranteed to promote sleep.
I guess on that note, it's time accept that invitation, and go to sleep.
