I walk to the window and pull back the drape
And stare at a moonless starlit sky
And wonder aloud, why is it I
Cannot find the sleep I so desperately crave
These thoughts overtake me, to a point where I cave
And slink back to my desk like a cat on the prowl
After all, it is why I am called the Night Owl

Ooooohh, Love this, Dorinda!! Such a delightful and fun read! Thanks for sharing! The Sandman usually catches me by 1 a.m. each night! You need to share your secrets of evasion from Him??? So, does this mean you sleep in or is it cat naps?? LOL! Wonderful post

Thank you, Chuck! Lately, I’ve been beating the sandman senseless, and I’m asleep by midnight (sometimes). Not sure where he hides other times, though LOL xoxo

You Crack My Up, Girl!!!! LOLOLOL!! Please share how you do that! Ha! Actually, it doesn’t really matter much. If I go to bed early or late I’m only getting about six hours a night – most times. I’ve come to appreciate “Power Naps”! Ha!

Thank you, Drew! My family calls me the night owl, hence the name of the blog. I was lucky it rhymed with prowl lol
