'''Insomnia at 89'''

So it is you Mr. half past three<br/>
And just what do you think you are doing to me.<br/>

Now Mr. half past five<br/>
Please take note that I am still alive<br/>

And now you Mr. Half past six<br/>
I suppose you think you’ve got me in a hell ava fix<br/>

But no, Mr. Half past Nine<br/>
Those three hours sleep were simply fine<br/>

So please take note Old Father Time<br/>
That at 89 I am still hitting that line<br/>

And I will till the end of the time of the time that is mine

And then, well good luck to you Old Father Time

I will then go to sleep and sleep all the way to the end of your line.
