Somnolence

Falling asleep in front of TV doesn’t necessarily 

mean what you think - there is more’n one idea 

beautifully explaining why of this shuteye case - 

and, I might add - is an inkling how selection of 

those lounge chairs was duly inspired; but, yes, 

sleeping thru re-run’s comes easier in reclining 

soft-leather chairs with footstool, and th’ woolly 

drape in pink, no less, wrapped casually round 

But I am also bound to tell the whole truth, and 

that places it in a different perspective - we are 

undisputedly reflective of our age and activities 

we engage in; tho’ not necessarily in consort, a 

solo-performance stage-set has consequences 

later in ways of requiting checks & balances on 

just where and when we sleep; watching rugby 

at 2 am extracts its early evening’s vengeance
