Sleep evades me throughout night-time,
There’s naught to be achieved from worry over wordings posted by a fault.
Sleep evades me throughout night-time,
Why would he send an erroneous night inscription idly to me?
‘My Babe, happy day on which you’re born,’
Read the message supposed to be communiqué set
For later when natal event would come about in five months time for my party.
‘My Babe, ‘happy’ was meant for you even though happy day of birth’s ahead.’
