Dave's Story
An old soul by the name of Dave,
Could never stay awake throughout the day.
He tried pills and caffeinated drink,
Still he took more than 40 winks.
Was it in his head?
Was it in his mind?
Never awake long enough,
Falling asleep time after time.
Then one day
The answer came
Nothing profound
Horribly mundane
The source of his problem
Which seemed so bleak
Was fickle narcolepsy
Robbing him of life while asleep.
