Siestas
Siestas in the afternoon
Power naps we call them
Always welcome, don't you know
In a hammock or in the bed,
If its too hot, then on the floor.
Never say no to a siesta,
Make it for hours, if you can,
If not then 30 minutes will do just fine.
Si! Very refreshing once it is done.
Viva Siestas! One by one...
Have you had your siesta today?
