The clock rolls past the 12.
I'll need to be feeling tired soon,
And still, I push back the sleep.

The clock flies past the 1.
I'm still playing the same game of Civ 5,
And still, I push back the sleep.

The clock careens past the 2.
That econ exam tomorrow's real,
And still, I push back the sleep.

The clock ticks past the 3.
I've just now relapsed on tobacco,
And still, I push back the sleep.

The clock runs past the 4.
I've let classes get ahead of me,
And still, I push back the sleep.

The clock quick approaches 5.
I need to sort this **** out,
Alas, I'll get to that after I sleep.

Not sure what'll happen at 6.
So many tasks to be done,
Course, by then I'll be fast asleep.

Before I know it it'll be 12 again.
I can't say whether I'll be awake,
But at least I'll have caught up on sleep.
