Insomnia

I want you to write me a poem inspired by Emilie Autumn's "4 'o Clock"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tORbGjyrUlQ&feature=related

I want it to be beautiful and, as usual, anything goes.

Just no sticky caps or horrendous spelling. That makes it really hard for me to read it.

Render me sleepless with your verses, poets!

*I've extended the judging date. There were so many really good poems! However, I'm now disallowing prewrites, just to make it interesting.*
