Amuse

Down Under when one can not sleep
One busies one's self counting sheep
Snooze you lose
Ewes your muse
Aussie poets are now knee-deep

Ha ha Rico: Better to count ewes than roos. Did you hear about the ewe who married a Kangaroo and gave birth to a wooly jumper. Ha ha. SuZ

Hello Rico ... chasing sheep to count them is enough to put you to sleep. They are brainless, cantankerous, do what they want to count - thank you Rico - Lindsay

Sheep counters invariably count the same sheep more than once; like people, sheep believe there is always a better place in the mob ....Aloha! Rico
