If the House catches fire:
Please don't wake me.
If there's a Medical alert:
Never include me.
Some Thiefs breaking in:
Don't shake me.
Should a Hurricane strike:
Wave Goodbye me.
An Earthquake rolls by:
Just desert me.
A Locust Plaque falls:
Let them Consume me.
A Nuclear Strike:
Never warn me.
If Aliens Invade:
Let them Probe me.
Desperate for Sex:
Go Cheat on me.
Just leave me alone,
Never disturb me;
As I just want to Sleep
Feeling Drowsily.

Yep - the need for sleep can be overwhelming, but......
Can't say what's more Ridiculous: Life or the Workings in a dream.
Thank you for Reading.

Yes. Thank you for Reading and your response.
Most welcome dear Kevin. ππ»ποΈ
Kevin, what a wonderfully absurd ride! Each new disaster raises the stakes while the determination to remain unconscious never wavers...and by the end, I completely respect the commitment. Hilarious write, my friend! ππͺοΈπ΄π
