Sleepy Eyes

Watching TV last night was a bore
I lay on the couch tucked in a quilt.
My eyes wanting to close like a lift's door
I knew I would have to fight to the hilt.
As I watched, my big blue beauties barely blinked
I knew I needed to hit the sack.
Top and bottom eyelids would soon be linked
So I brushed my teeth to get rid of plaque.
While I got ready I felt like a zombie
So I slipped into bed and turned out the light.
Then finally with sleep I did agree
With that, to God I whispered goodnight
As my head hit the pillow, my eyes did close
which left me in an overnight doze.
