Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Counting Sheep

Got up at 3:00 AM, sure had enough sleep
Coffee at 10:00, made me ready to dance and leap
Thought I might as well rise
Stead of giving it a try
Got up to ten thousand, counting all those damn sheep!

Lenny Gazbowski April 11, 2016 at 7:47 AM haha :-) chuckles appreciated Jack ! Lenny Gazbowski April 11, 2016 at 8:50 AM Jack, try calomile tea an hour or so before bed in place of coffee, or valerian which you can get in drop or capsule form. I wasn't laughing at you it was the humor within the limerick. Jack Ellison April 11, 2016 at 7:59 AM Caffeine at 10:00... not smart!!! At least it gave YOU a chuckle! LOL Cheers!
