The Sleep Fantastic
the critter once was there before
mouth agape, noise asnore
sleep fantastic evermore
until it did awaken;
when it woke awake it stayed
a goodly time was while it played
'til finally it did cave
and sleep a bit again;
and roam it did within the cycles
sleep of death to life of wake
and when it forewent one (that's sleep)
death would visit waking steps
waking steps would plod the land
mind slipped far from being
until no more was left of self
and there be zombie being
until sleep then is once more found
and zombiehood is tightly bound
and mind is fresh, renewed, and sound
you're stuck with zombie being.

I hear the last verse as a loud chorus sung over and over!
This sounds like me before coffee.
