Just sit right down and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip
That started at a sleep center, with a night time blip.


Should be no problem sticking Liam and sailor boy into this one....
verses anyone?

Just sit right down and you'll hear a tale,
a tale of a fateful trip
That started at a sleep center,
with a night time blip.
The tech was a handy wire man,
He hooked me up in style
A zillion wires were attached to me
For an eight hour trial.
An eight hour trial.

The evening started kinda strange
They ordered me to bed.
If not for the wires that kept me tied
I’d have run away instead.
I’d have run away instead.

The tech told me to try and sleep, turned out the light and left
With wired head
My ankle too
My belly strapped, and my chest
A cpap thing
Mask on my nose, and a rubber hose
Here in sleep study hell.



....... more to follow, maybe

Here in sleep study hell.

So this is the tale of my test from hell,
Was there for a long long time.
I’d have to try and sleep with this or
fail and lose my mind.
The first part was without a mask
To sleep the hours through
To see if I have this apnea thing
And snore like a fool.
No phones, no lights, no remote control,
No convenient place to pee
Like Frankenstein or a poor test rat
It’s a freaky way to be.
So lie right here and dare to sleep
Will they hear me if I yell,
All night in this godforsaken place
Here in sleep study hell.


.....best I could do on short notice.

Linda

You give me too much credit. I sat down and thought about the Gilligan's Island theme and came to the conclusion that no good ideas sprang to mind.

Liam, there ARE bad jokes he can fail to make.

Hey Hey Linda ( from the song Hey Hey Laura),

Now I need you to write the second verse!

I just sit back and long onto cpap talk dot com
and help the newbies learn to sleep with their cpaps on

BuffaloAl,

Second verse??

I'll have to think about that one.
Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Don't know if I can measure up.
But I'll see what I can do.

Hmm. I wonder if the two lines I started with would actually be better ending lines?
