I start to tell a story, and people start counting sheep.
I’ve done most of my best reading while other people slept.
Consider that my promise, and this verse my promise kept.

I am against the Bible, and would not read it at all,
if it weren’t reliable for sleeping, since I fall
fast and deep by reading verses, versus reading not.
It meets the sleep I’m needing when I’m reading on the pot.

So, I’m against the Bible. You should know that from the start.
I have one in my pocket, pressed “against” my chest and heart.
For those who are in need, I read and while away the time
with verses I’ve rehearsed, and these slumber-inducing rhymes.

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
