Early to bed in compliant rest,
With sleep descending barely true,
Shrill alarm my patience test,
Unknown caller was the first clue.
Troubleshoot a failure there,
More than experience possess,
Escalate and wake others fair,
And lacking knowledge confess.
Back to sleep my weary head,
In hopes of gaining cycles,
Until alarm my soul that's dead,
Exhaustion's downward spiral.
Planned work and waiting too,
The third hour spent awake,
Home silent still and rest forsue,
Their sleep continuous, no break.
Down to rest, mind spinning now,
Less time to rest than given,
Request again, I shouldn't allow,
Sleepless night on call's not livin'.
Family arises, it's spiritual time,
Interrupted again by the needy,
Quick to pillow on turn of dime,
Yearning for sleep I feel so greedy.
Walking dead at work, little rest,
My eyes to barely peel,
It's my job, my patience to test,
A part of my signed deal.
