The other night as I lay in my bed, sleepless, those words flitted into my mind. Rather than churn them over and over until mor- ning, I decided to jot them down. Around 2 a.m. I crawled out of bed, turned on my desk lamp and scribbled the ditty on a slip of paper. A classic poem it's not. The rhyme and the rhythm left something to be desired. As far as I was concerned the night lacked something, too - sleep. The poem reflected my mood. Insomnia presents an irritating experience, What tortures an insomniac more than the sound of snores coming from the next pillow, the next bed or the next room? "Everyone else can sleep, each piece is coated. Serve these two terrific tossed salads to your family and friends this summer. They're the perfect accompaniment to any meal.

Bosanquet, attend surprise party Why can't I?" she asks herself, An insomnious wife sometimes nudges her husband, until his snores subside, When he stirs, she whispers, "Are you still awake, dear?" A grunt is the usual response. Inevitably those snores soon start again. She remains wide awake and suffers through her misery alone. As each minute creeps by, frustration grows in the restless one. How can an insomniac relieve her or his frustration? The thin walls in our house and apartments restrict our efforts. Everyone has favourite methods for releasing their emotions, Because most of the popular techniques are noisy, they aren't permissible in the middle of the night. For example, I slam doors, Besides being childish, the habit causes complications, Imagine the popping bedsprings, the startled voices and the sleepy glares, if I tried that trick at 2 a.m. Instead I scratched a few lines with my pencil and disturbed no one. Moreover, when I finished writing the poem, I fell asleep. Perhaps expressing my emotions brought the relaxation, or maybe the sleep resulted from exhaustion. I can't guarantee the idea will cure every case of insomnia. It may not help me a second time. But at least I gained a few hours sleep and a topic for this column. Tossing and turning Trembling and sweating Thrashing and flailing Groaning and swearing. Throwing down the covers Pulling them up again Fluffing up my pillow Flopping down my head. Watching the moon Counting the stars Listening to the wind Whispering, whispering. Staring into the darkness Wondering, will this night never end? Will the light come back into my world again? Will tomorrow ever come? And if it does, will it resemble today? One thing is for sure, it will end the same way - BOYLE'S LWADEIAERS' Mrs. John Hamilton, Ernie Wight and Mrs. C. R.
