I'm so tired,
I can not sleep.
Wide awake,
I count sheep.
One bah,
two baahhs,
three baaahhhs,
four...
Counting sheep
can be a bore.
I'm still tired,
I count once more,
until the sheep
are at the door.
One bah,
two baahhs,
three baaahhhs,
four...
Counting sheep
is such a chore.
My eyes droop,
my ears thrum.
Counting sheep
is getting dumb.
I want sleep,
I close my eyes.
I start to snooze
until...surprise!
One bah,
two baahhs,
three baaahhhs,
four...
I fall asleep
upon the floor.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Brilliant! Take this down and turn it into a picture book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz! Hmmm...hadn't thought of it as a PB, but it may be worth a second look in that context. Thanks for the feedback. =)
DeleteLiz is right-work it into a beautiful (& funny) picture book for bedtime. I love sheep book!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda! I'm going to seriously think about revising it as a PB. Thank you for the encouragement. =)
