Now I Lay Me

Now I Lay Me

A Poem by Nini

Now I Lay Me

Now I lay me down to sleep
visions motor through my brain
of "Sheep in Jeep"

If I should lie in bed awake
thinking of nothing but
"Happy Birthday Moon" and cake

Thoughts of Sam I Am
and "Green Eggs and Ham"
bounce off my head
like a scene
in Space Jam

My thoughts are winding down
sleep closing in
I close the book
The Sandman wins
