Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Don'T Bother Counting Sheep - Trochee

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!

Andrea Dietrich May 29, 2012 at 12:05 AM 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.
