It's hard going to sleep without a beer
Or two or three to bring drowsiness on
Trying to skip the juice and sleep sober
Is OK once the second night's begun
But the first night (last night), brain overrun
With lively thought that reading cannot quell
Even Racine's play 'bout Agamemnon
As a lullaby, ineffectual
I put it down, the late hour pretty well
Demanding that I doze off, as quite near
Was the time I'd have to get up again
To see the solicitor who would tell
Me about consent orders; causing fear
Unable to relax, the hours ground on...
