I think the sheep were tired before little old you...should have just knocked yourself out with a shoe...you can nap in the chair...in your purple underwear...then go back to bed at a quarter after two

Jack, try calomile tea an hour or so before bed in place of coffee, or valerian which you can get in drop or capsule form. I wasn't laughing at you it was the humor within the limerick.
