I just wanna sleep

A poem that occurred to me after I woke up today. Feel free to show this to your mother and use it as an excuse for those extra 5 minutes of sleep ;)

What happened to the Pandavas?

Why was Shakuni being cheap?

I don’t know, I don't care

Honestly, I just wanna sleep

How does momentum work?

Is an SUV bigger than a jeep?

How does it even matter?

I would rather sleep

How were continents formed?

Oceans can be how deep?

Geography is fun but like…

I just wanna sleep

Why does milk come from goats

But wool from sheep?

These questions bother me too

But I still just wanna sleep

What does the PM do?

When did Armstrong take his leap?

What will I do if I remember?

So can I just sleep?

Make hay while the sun shines

As you sow, so shall you reap

Idioms only help so much

On the other hand, there's sleep

And this is why, mother

I prefer to lay in a heap

I don't want to go to school

I just wanna sleep
