...It's going now on five a.m.
The alarm is far fro-om beeping
And I'm laying here, u-u-unsleeping
Wide awaaaake since a-round two-thir-ty
Or was it three?
In this dark and silence.
Fool I was, I took a nap
Falling into that old trap
Now my brain knows not if it's here or there
Or still over the ocean somewhere
Well, screw thiiiiis, I guess I'll just get up
Before sunup.
Wow, this house, is silent.
Let's see how quietly can I
Take this thing off "standby"?
Maybe I can catch up on the blog!
Or on some of this email backlog!
I'll sit here waitiiiing to feel lively and inspired
Oh man, I'm tired.
And it sure is silent.
Clacking typing echoes through
This slowly-light'ning livingroom
While I keep glancing toward the bedroom door
Through which lightly emanates a snore
And I wonderrr, should I get up aaand make some tea?
Or first go pee?
Some birds break the silence.
Stirrings come from down the hall
And the thump of a footfall
Announces that it's fin-al-ly morning!
That'd be great -- but against all warning
I think now I just want to get back in bed.
And sleep like the dead.
But it's no longer silent...!

I know it's painful, but jetlag becomes you -- you're hilarious!!!
I hope by the time I leave this comment, you've worked well through it. If it helps at all, we wish were in the same time zone, too.....
"The journey in you head is still steeping,
It left it's seeds so now you're not sleeping,
And the visions that were planted in your brain,
Still remain,
Buzzing with the sounds of jetlag."
We sure do miss you already...
Take two melatonin and call me in the morning...
Oh, wait... who's morning??
Anyway,
Thank you for being here! (and there!)
We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
D0000d... that's hilarious! I sang part of it to John :-D
The rhythm of this line is my favorite:
