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.
