The hour is late and I am sleepy. I saw sad movie and now I'm weepy. My eyes are teary and very red, And now I want to go to bed. I'll have to count wee white sheep, For when too weary, I cannot sleep. ~ won, too, threee, fore, fyve, sex, sevven, Dems sheeps is leapin' rite to hevven! Oh, me! Oh, my! I wanna crie! Dems wooly ones are gonna die! Those clouds above are way too high, And the sheeps is fallin' from the sky! Oh no! Oh no! It can't be so, Dead sheep heaped up high and low! I only wanted to get some sleep, And now I've killed sevven sheep! My eyes are crossed, I'm failing fast. How long's this death scene gonna last? This living nightmare is scaring me, Next time I'll count to only threee! |

Dear Linda, this was just wonderful and very much enjoyed my friend, may you catch up on some sleep and leave alone the wooly sheep. Sincerely Rick |

lol! Gotta love this. What humor, what creativity. Thanks for the chuckle. Poor little sheep, next time I'm sure they'll help rock you to sleep  Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Mr. T. ~ Oh, but I do! Whenever my halo slips I get a taste of the real world! Needless to say, I try my best to keep my halo on straight! ~ at least most of the time! Luvvums, EA |

Susan ~ Oh, Susan! That's what I should do! I'll just have the sheep rock me to sleep ~ then they won't break their wooly little necks! I wouldn't count sheep if I were you! It can turn out to be a living nightmare! Sweet dreams... lol Linda |

JL ~ Thanks for the very cool reply! And BTW, I love to hear you laugh!  ~ and please, I definitely wouldn't reccommend counting tigers! They could survive the fall and then eat you up! Sweet dreams! lol LD |

 (big angel hugs) Ohhhhhh..there there, sweet angel friend, your halo must have accidentally shifted to the ground while you were sleeping, and you know we don't want it to be facing down! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send soothing happy dream heart hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "You'll find something that's enough to keep you |
