No Longer Counting Sheep ~*Marge Tindal*~ Lost without the sleep of you How I count the sheep of you Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue Wagging tails and haystacks too Wandering lost through meadows deep Where's the love that looks after the sheep I fear he's gone elsewhere to sleep Nothing left here in his keep Leave him alone - he's gone to roam Sounding horns of his own Nothing I can do to bring him home I'm through losing count of the Fairy Tale of you ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

The metaphors are alive and well in the pen of Marge! Love it Marge..."I'm through losing count....of the fairy tale of you." I love those lines! |

A poem worthy of Mother Goose.... I enjoyed this much. Incidently, I do know a "Good Shepherd" but I think that you already know how to get hold of Him. Bob <>< |

I shall never even try to be like you...I can only be me... for you outshine us with your wit... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Whenever you lie in bed at night As sleepy night-time nears Instead of sheep, you silly girl Try counting Balladeers! You only need to count to one. There won't be no suspense By that time you'll see Balladeer Jumpin' over your fence! So have that window open wide And take down all those bars If you count once to Balladeers You'll soon be counting stars!!! |

I know onesies are most easy Thus would be simple and so please-y But truth be told, one need count much harder If one see the number of philanderer(s) So lady take the only leap Safer far than counting sheep The truest onesie's to behold And worthy of your heart of gold Guess who |
