Exercises in Song 2008: #13
Odds that one's wishes for rest
And places to rest in coincide,
Where sleepiness is caused by drinking far from one's house—
Such a chance, in truth, is slight.
I make it one in three
That I'll find land, foam or sea.
But your list'ning to this song is, by now,
Something of a certainty!
