I'Ll Take the Sheep
I heard a relaxation tape
That’s meant to help you sleep,
Its soothing tones enticing you
To slumber, sans the sheep.
A female voice suggested
That you focus on your day,
Especially on upbeat things
Encountered on your way.
Think back on all the foods you ate,
The veggies and the fruit,
Reflecting on where they were grown
And where they went en route.
Next concentrate on someone who
Brings joy and makes you smile
And hopefully your eyes will close
Or start to, in a while.
The disembodied voice droned on,
Releasing to the void
Suggestions which may work for some,
But just made me annoyed.
