A passionate affair comes with a price,
Like any world re-shaping device,
Demanding you learn a new body of knowledge
Beyond the things you may have learned in college.
Your nighttime hours take on a different sked
That might bring down a champion thoroughbred
And possibly could sap the energy
Of a West Point captain in the artillery.
What was true way back in Will Shakespeare's day
Remains in play: passion makes you pay.
Forget about sleep--no longer yours to choose.
The curse of true love never did run snooze.

Happy holidays to you and yours, Leon!

Sometimes works while wearing underwear.
But often, too, the snooze comes through
When weariness allows to wear one shoe.
Pursuit of popping off demands a mind
Bereft of worry, blankness of a kind
Dscovered where the world is smooth,
Unruffled with the aches of love or tooth
And free to be rough, a bit uncouth.
But sleepless can as well be a boon.
Night time is for love. So sleep to noon
