a poem

“Persistence of Memory” by Salvador Dali

“evening repose”

you labored all day
now it’s time to play

sit back and relax
don’t hack

after eating a fine meal
happy you shall feel

turn your ear
to Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier

now read a good book
on Facebook do not look

no email for tonight
go and dim the light

now drift off and snooze
without aid of booze

have happy dreams
reality isn’t what it seems!
