Insomnia I can't get to sleep, I've even tried counting sheep They make too much noise With each baa in their voice! I guess I shouldn't have drank all that coffee Because, I am wide awake, you see I've tossed and turned Like butter churned Counting the ceiling dots Maybe it's too hot! Is that a cricket chirp? Or a night time burp? The stars are too loud I can hear whispering clouds! Maybe I should read a book But, a scary one is what I took! Now the light has to stay on A frightened look my face upon! What should I do? Sleep with a shoe? Ack! There's a monster under my bed! With a big ugly head A beast beneath! With lots of teeth! Oh, it's only the cat... Dreaming of a mouse so fat... The sun will arise..... Only then, will I close my eyes... But for now I cannot sleep Will you get out of here, you crazy sheep! |
