Sleep, Sleep, Wonderful Sleep

I want to go to sleep again, My needed peeing is all done. But, I can’t seem to fall asleep No matter how I try. I’d try counting those jumping sheep That mother sleep keeps in her yard, But, I’ve not seen one- white or black- That I can start to count. I want to go on back to sleep, Instead of lying here awake. It’s five am and mother sun Is rising o’er the hills. Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, wonderful sleep, I wish that you would fill my eyes. If not, all day I know I’ll be Hard to get along with. W.C.Hull© 2021 K55-22-K65-22

I love the singsong and longing of this line: Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, wonderful sleep
