Time To Count Some Sheep

Its 3am in the morning Insomnia has taken hold I will be shattered in the daylight hours Looking and feeling a hundred years old My body is so weary My mind is so awake Now I’m writing poems A very big mistake! I had better go Its time to count some sheep Or else l will be the walking dead If l don’t get a wink of sleep! Goodnight xx

Have done this all my life, so I know the feeling. Thank God now that I am retired, generally to sleep or stay awake when I want to. A very relatable poem. Thank you for sharing.
