terrible dream
i'm feeling rather ragged.
i'm feeling rather rough.
i'm looking like i stayed up late,
and didn't sleep enough.
i went to sleep at bedtime
and dreamt all through the night,
but when i woke this morning
i was feeling far from right.
for though i drifted quickly,
and slumbered long and deep,
i'm totally exhausted
'cause i dreamed i couldn't sleep!
