I tried to go to bed early last night. I was ready for bed around 10 pm but didn’t get to sleep probably around 11 pm which wouldn’t have been a big deal except I woke up in the middle of the night at some point reciting limericks inside my head. Like you know when you get a song stuck in your head only it’s
There once was a man from Peru
Who dreamt he was eating his shoe
He awoke with a fright
In the middle of the night
To find that is dream had come true.
Over and over again. For at least an hour. Just woke up and there were limericks. It’s stupid o’clock at night, it’s dark, Horatio is asleep on my face and just limericks.
It was maddening and now I’m exhausted. I want to go home and back to bed but what if the limericks come back?
