COUNTING SHEEP ZZZZZ

 

I cannot sleep
wide awake
let me go
for goodness sake.

I toss and turn
like a restless dog
the wheels have stopped
with a broken cog.

My mind so active
it never stops
like thieves and robbers
being chased by cops!

Try counting sheep
got to the end
this restless night
I cannot defend.

Go have a drink
to settle your mind
think of happy things
try to be kind.

Eventually you fall
into a deep sound sleep
but what time was it?
you did not keep!

Up in the morning
still dead tired
so to you my dear brain

 you are FIRED.
