Sleep is such a precious thing Now I lay my head, Close my mind from worrying, Count some sheep instead I drift off into my dream... Hubby starts to snore ! Not again!! Well, I can scheme, Ewes and me at war ! Sheep stampeding out the door ! A panic stricken flock I've pushed hubby to the floor A frantic man in shock! ______________________ For "I'm So Annoyed" Contest........sponsored by Mary Oliver Rotman

Carrie, I think yours is one of the last ones I saw? And I had already thought up my winners so it was so cool to get to add this into the top placements. I had no idea if you did my contest. I would have expected something like one of the flowery ones from you but you gave me this very clever "EWE" one instead! Congrats in my contest.

Carrie, it is always such a treat to read your poetry. I do sometimes count sheep, but I'm not at war with "Ewe." LOL Very clever! Andrea's going to love it. Wishing you success in her contest. Love, Carolyn
