A Look At Who Naps by Sam Roberts
This is my poetry response to an article in the NYTimes, “A Look At Who Naps” by Sam Roberts.
Napper’s Delight
Guilty as sin! A napper is told
National survey release was today doled
Sleep deprived people from all walks of life admit
All I need is a little nap, as I sit, just a bit
Race and sex again related
The unemployed have also been spotted
Nap if you will, as the poor do often
Article reading with eyes resting on a swaying train in Brooklyn
Do you nap because you are ill?
Are you indeed just too lazy with no real skill?
Many are said to take the nappers thrill
Einstein, Edison, Reagan, Clinton, and Churchill
So nap if you can, no need for shame
Nap is the new exercise! You should thus claim
