MD’s and nurses own me now;
Here is the rest I’m needing.
I’ll catch up on some things, I vow,
And that includes my reading.
I’ll lie abed, I will, till noon;
I’ll have my meals served therein;
I’ll make being here the sort of boon
That friends will want to share in.
But being truthful, I’ll confess
Of those results I’m reaping
There seems to be a whopping mess
Of nothing much but sleeping!
