Today

Today One sheep, Two sheep I can’t seem to find sleep Got thoughts in my head, so Today will not let go Hello… looks Like a sleep.. less night Three sheep, Four sheep Tangled in the bed sheet Tossing and a turning Roasting hot and burning Hello… looks Like a sleep.. less night Five sheep, Six sheep Come on sleep, please creep Get me out of this bind Get her out of my mind Yoyo… looks Like a peace.. less night She said, I said Join me in the marriage bed I don’t seem to think so Today will not let go Oh no… looks Like a rest.. less night Me thinks, She thinks After I’ve had forty winks I will see it her way Get me out of today I say… looks Like an ease.. less night Morning, Yawning A brand new day is dawning I know she’ll go loony When I do a Clooney Hey ho… looks Like a sleep… filled night

Hi lucy, I only have the occasional poor night, most often when I'm excited about something tomorrow, like a big kid lol

Hello Richard, thank you for the sweet comment on my poem. I'm watching a movie in which is boring the zzz's in me..LOL. I think I'll call it a night tonight. I have no problem when it comes to counting sheep... Did you know I count Unicorns instead of sheep. This was fun to read. Hope your not having trouble sleeping. ... Goodnight... you Sweet Dark Friend... Linda
