Mark R Slaughter (1957)
Poem
This bloody poem I read -
It's blown apart me ‘ed, and
Ever since, I've never slept a wink!
This poem, if truth be said,
‘As made me eyes go red - and me
Sanity is edging on the brink!
Read not this poem in bed -
For those who've just been wed, it'll
Wash your nuptials down the bloody sink!
Don't try to understand the theme -
There's nothing there to even deem
A notion of an underlying meaning,
And should you dare to even try, then
Rest assured, you'll only cry, and
Find yourself ahangin' from the ceiling

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Robert Frost
Be careful what you read before bed time!
I always make the mistake of getting my mind going.
And then it turns into another long, sleepless night.
