This is another older piece of mine:
"Cacophony in the Night of a Student"
Zzzzzz...
The clock kicked over to two in the morn
Homework to do, sleep long away torn
Eyes as peeled grapes, shrivelled and dead
Oops, the brain popped out of the head
Clock can tick all crummy night now
Can't be deprived of sleep anyhow?
Hang on, could that have been said already?
Can't recall, couldn't care less
Just want night and bits of rest
Parents screeching, squawking cruelly
"Go to bed, stop this unruly
Homework finishing right this instant!"
"Love to, can't," cackled back at 'em
As the head started to jerk
Down with sleep
Unwelcome, and needed
Drooping eyelids that are not heeded
Can't rest, can't not, can't...
Can't...
Zzzzzzz...
Never mind.
