SLEEP

'Early to bed and early to rise'
Makes a man
Healthy
Wealthy and
Wise

Old adage dad used
To tell us
How true
About the health
Wealth
And
Wisdom
Am not sure

We say
Sleep refreshes
Depends
Whether we take
A nap
0r
Ten hours
Are light
Or
Heavy sleepers

May be
Planned sleep
Can make
Us healthier

To be wise
We should
Get deeper
Knowledge
And
Exercise our mind

To be wealthy
Use our skills
And
Resources
Have vision
And
Good
Work ethics

'Early to bed and early to rise'
Would then make sense

“Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.” Look no further

Well you could either be referring to the quote from Proverbs or to its content. (Or to my own personal situation!) Cheers, Nolan

Know what it feels like my friend. In the days when I still got a salary I was rapidly enlightened each time. Keep well Zemikael! We’re in good company!

Zemikael there is another perspective, James Thurber, “Early to rise and early to bed makes a male healthy and wealthy and dead.”
