<!--Quotation Elation Leads to Sleep Deprivation-->
<I> need to <p>,
just as groggy as I can <b>!
Can't get my <head> straight,
my <body> aches,
barely remember my <name>.
Stayed up this morning 'til quarter of five—
couldn't get out of the site coding jive.
Eyes are blurry,
the code now a flurry;
I've crossed the <border>
twixt computer and man.
Stumble to the <table>,
find something to eat—
oops, just fell asleep in my shredded wheat!
My <face> has lost its <color>,
the <head>ache's enormous in <size>—
my <body> screams #000000 h!
as one more brain cell dies.
I feel a cob Web in my mouth,
see a Mouse shimmy across the floor,
my Wiry hair <frame>s my <face>,
feels like I've got a mouthful of Paste.
I guess I'll go now back to bed—
think I may be <br>ain dead!

Here’s hoping Hell
has a great library!
