Trouble Sleeping by Bob Moore © 2016 I have trouble every night, when I try to go to sleep they say it might be easier, if I try counting sheep but the little buggers won’t stand still, they’re jumping all around the only ones that I can count, are lying on the ground Other people do it, with sheep which will be good I’ve seen pictures of them lying there, the sheep doing as they should jump the fence, one by one, land on the other side my sheep all just run about, don’t seem to have much pride And now I’m getting aggravated, I’ll never get to sleep I’ve kept my eyes closed really tight, but now I’ll take a peep hang on, it now is daylight the mornings come so soon guess I’d better get out of bed, I’ll have a nap this afternoon.

Hello Robert Moore, counting sheep does not always work. I make a mug of lavender tea to make me sleep. it works for me. Enjoy your weekend my friend.

Hello Robert Moore, well you are the lucky one. July 1st was Canada Day. June 30th the fireworks began followed by the next day. Then last night fireworks started again until 3 in the morning. I am tired today. Happy July 4th! xx
