Nearly Departed

A poor narcoleptic named Fred
was taken by strangers for dead
When Fred came around
six feet under ground
he asked, "Was it something I said?"

  1. "I'll sleep when I'm dead!" cried poor Fred
    From deep in his mildew-proof bed
    "No worms will there be
    To keep company,
    For long nights that might lie ahead."

  2. To sleep, wrote the bard, perchance dream
    But wake in a grave and you'll scream
    To snooze or not tooze,
    his Hamlet must choose
    But Fred doesn't care for rhyme scheme

  3. They say that the bad will sleep well
    On nightmares their minds never dwell
    I'll bet Bush, each night
    sleeps ever so tight
    though I'd prefer George rest in hell
