Best Counting Sheep Poems

When counting sheep on sleepless nights
   fails to make me sleep
 I count the stars  in vaulted heights
   that through my window peep

    Then  lullabies from up on high
  bring my soul to rest

It's  one in the morning
And I can't get to sleep
So I've tried various things
Like counting some sheep,
But they just won't stay still 
They keep 'milling around
Backwards and forwards
All over the ground.
To make matters worse
What on earth can I do
When this big randy ram 
Keeps...

Oh fine little sheep
why must you bleat?
When your manger’s piled high
with strands of wheat.  

Think you of the cock
hen pecked by his flock
who must awaken at dawn
to crow from the rocks.

Or the cattle that lo
in their pastures of snow
Could use your fleece coat
when the...

Got up at 3:00 AM, sure had enough sleep
Coffee at 10:00, made me ready to dance and leap
Thought I might as well rise
Stead of giving it a try
Got up to ten thousand, counting all those damn sheep!...

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...

Like sheep being led to the slaughter,
I became one of the herds daughters,
just blending in with the sheep people,
I ended up becoming known as a sheeple,

Believing everything the elite told me,
I went walking blindly with my herd constantly,
not wanting to discern for myself the truth,
worried...

Ceiling fan atop my head
Keep me cool while in my bed

Cooling air while I sleep
And shearing all my counting sheep...

Walking fine lines
With rough rhymes
Not running after
Mega bucks dollar signs
Talking to that lazy duck
Father time
Hit the snooze button
To my nine O'clock alarm chime

Sleepy realms still swirling in my head
Bikini dreams surfing on my water bed
Days like this make me grateful
To be alive and not dead
Starting...

I once had a sleeping problem so bad
I tried every drug my Dr had
so a friend says to me 
away you must go and flee
count sheep 
and fall asleep
so to the country I went
used my last of money I spent
found a farm
and I swear I...

His whole flock was in the field as He watched from above
For in His heart they have been sealed by His great love
And there they would graze as a very big part of their day
The Shepherd in all their days until one up and went...

We persist in running again.
Eyes widened by experience, open like wounds.
Heavy jaws of ruminated
Portions.
Hallucinations of wolves and foxes and mean people,
Ripped members and massacres could
Always and never happen. Our lives
Mean nothing while living in
Tastebuds of animals and those who profit
From our meat and coarse hair.
They...

Maybe I need a Doctor;
Therapy session wasn't enough to get me proper.
Bring me the best singer;
All these lullaby can't heal my insomnia

Why leave?
Why have you done that to innocent me?
You didn't just left my heart with a hole, 
You went away with my soul.

I feel...

It's time for you to go to sleep,
So close your eyes and count some sheep.
1, 2, 3, 4, it's time to lay down and play no more.
5, 6, 7, 8, go to bed it's getting late.
The stars are in the sky above,
Now go to sleep...

Last night, I had to shoo me away some sheep. 
Having to count 'em was keeping me from falling asleep.
Tonight, I do battle
with a big herd of cattle
that somebody, I’m sure, has prayed the Lord to keep.
