Eight hours, eight hours of sleep is best

to keep us healthy. Give us rest.

Eight hours brings opportunities

to strengthen our immunities.

To fight off winter’s colds and ‘flu.

Protecting us from cancer too.

For young and old; both short and lanky

lack of sleep can make us cranky.

Take away that eight-hour chunk

and brains act like they’re getting drunk!

Eight hours, eight hours of sleep a day

helps keep us well, live long and play.
