Energy
- Only sleep can refresh me
Of all the things I've tried to raise my energy levels, sleep
is by far the most effective. It just takes so much time though!
Drinking lucozade, every day, has made
Me feel refreshed, for what I do best.
But coffee drinking, has got me thinking
That no stimulant, is an energy equivalent.
If you filled me full, with vodka and Red Bull
I still wouldn't make it though the week awake.
Only the deepest sleep, is strong enough to keep
My eyes open wide, and a spring there in my stride.
Whenever I've been up late, I try to compensate
With an optimistic smile, thinking all the while
Of my own room, and how I'll be there soon.
I need my time in bed, to feed my aching head.
No amount of tea replaces my night-time energy.
Still no get up and go, after drinking cappuccino.
These drugs and other remedies have failed the test.
To build my energy, I find that sleep is still the best.
