Sleepless Sheep

Sheep Sam could not seek sleep that night as storm sounds crashed and clashed; the thunder blasted booms while bright bold beams of lightning lashed. So sadly, Sam said, “We can't sleep- the big booms bash so loud!” But then, they heard a chirpy cheep- a true tweet in their crowd! “Oh yes”, said Sparrow Sue, “You know this scary storm won't last; it helps the green grass greatly grow as rich rain feeds it fast. So, ease your ears and eyes- think how our fading field of green will grow the coolest clover now our home has ever seen!” And so, the sleepless sheep slept well until the storm-free sun sent scents of their best breakfast smell- green grass and fine food fun!
