Two lamps at the window, Two men spake their woe, Two hours to heart's content To avert an impending dent. One in spirits lay low Another assuaged his woe, One solution to sorrow at hand To lift the spirits of the land. "Five to midnight", mother said, To bed, scurry off to bed; Obedience is...

Somniferous Rambling
Somniferous; Eyes stared at me, Like an apparition facing In the mirror, almond-like, A breath encasing the scene Like smoke, confusing, confounding, A mistique stare- cold and white.
