To Sleep, perchance to Grind one's Teeth
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-------------------------------------------------
Old warriors. Even older wars.
"Have an Anzac bickie."
"Is it crunchy or soft?"
"Dunk it in your tea."
"Those young guys
at Gallipoli,
They had to dunk their
hard, hard tack bickies, *
but they did have tea."
"The young vets **
returning now,
how can they sleep
if they drink tea?
Can they sleep?"
"I heard they grind their teeth
when they do sleep."
Remembering also
those that sleep
and sleep.
