Peppermint Tea or Black Coffee?

For a quick path to a restful sleep,

And the battle against sleep deprivation,

Take a cup of peppermint tea, for it’s deep

relaxation, if not for just the sensation;

Instead of the usual cup of coffee, black,

I’m getting more used to nightly routine,

Of sipping a cup before hitting the sack;

Usually a cup of peppermint or tea, green.

Goodnight! 

Cheers!

Disoriented Body Clock

It's today here, I'm here,

It's yesterday there, I'm there,

Physically I'm here, just here,

Partly I'm there, still there;

Up at two in the morning, how rare,

Breakfast before dawn, so bizarre,

Drowsy and yawning at work, in the chair,

Late afternoon here, past bedtime there;

It's today here, I'm here,

It's yesterday there, I'm there,

Physically I'm here, just here,

Partly I'm there, still there;

Fight of mind over body, not so fair,

In very distinct time zones, not so okay;

A disoriented body clock, in for repair,

Come to your senses, just for today. 

Cheers!
