Hey...you ever...
been so tired...?
'Twas the night before Monday
So I guess that means Sunday
n' I wasn’t looking for any crap...
When out of nowhere,
did appear an odd-looking chap
The outfit that he wore,
steady dragging on the floor
was beaten n’ non descript
and as he sauntered over
he pulled out a flask
n’ took a quick sip
Now I wasn’t sure
what to make of this
but I knew it felt kinda strange
so I hollered, "What you want
with me!?" As he came
in close range
Thinking' WTF's this?
I started gettin' pissed n'
this figure...
just kept coming at me
n' in all probability I thought
Nah, he don't want none of me
so I bet he'll turn n' flee...
but his lack of concern
negated my attempt at hostility
but I’ll tell you now, I’m no chump
so I decided I’d make a stand...
Yet, before I knew it
he was right on top of me!
n' with a hammer in his hand
he clocked me about the head...
Oh, I don’t know...
'bout three, or four dozen times
n' as I started to lose consciousness
Sounds n’ lights n’ thoughts
at fast pace, raced thru my mind
In a matter of seconds,
completely out was I...
The following mornin'
as I awoke, I learned about this guy...
Funny thing is
he didn’t really exist at all!
He was created by me...
Because on the night before,
so exhausted was I...
That the “SANDMAN” came
n' set my tired ass free!! Lol

when sleep calls either answer it

with a couple of punch-lines
clever clever write my brotha..
