I Shall Sleep No More This Night
by Mark Burney

Drinking hard on the anniversary of birth
Growing still to reach full girth
Later on shall come the one
who shall terminate this mirth

Drunkards drinking off to sleep
Chip and Dale play with glee on tape
First no coffee and then comes the naked
full horrid view of banana and grape

Take these eyes and burn them
For what they have seen has harmed
the very beauty of the gift of sight
I shall sleep no more this night
