SLEEP AND ARISTOTLE

A whimsy, to sleep with a good book.

SLEEP AND ARISTOTLE.

How to get a good night's sleep--

Instead of enumerating sheep,

Recline beautifully with Aristotle,

Don't decline, hit that bottle,

What does rhyme with Aristotle?

I ponder passing parades of axolotls,

Maybe Australia's golden wattles,

Driving by, foot on throttle,

Yes, they all rhyme with Aristotle,

Maybe I shouldn't drink that bottle,

I'll curl up with this learned book,

"What is beautiful?" at Aristotle I'll look,

Musing thoughts philosophical,

Aristotle waxing lyrical and logical,

Far different from enumerating sheep,

Drifting into a good night's sleep.......
