Counting Sheep

Counting sheep
One two three
My head needs fixed
Four five six
Need to unwind
Seven eight nine
When will this end!  
Oh there goes ten!
Have to stop thinking
Eleven twelve thirteen
My muses are winking
Fourteen fifteen sixteen!
They are feeling mighty
Seventeen eighteen nineteen
Getting pretty sleepy
Sheep are slowing down
Sleep will be plenty
With sheep (yawn) number twenty
Goodnight....

Thanks Marge for the inspiration to my muse!! LOL

Oh dear, oh dear, that's why I'm always so sleepy: I look at my sheep every day and count them too!!!!

Sometimes I'm counting only seven
But I know I've much more than eleven


        

Sleep well my dear,

Titia

P.S. Nice pic, now I know who I'm talking to

Marge!
Thanks for sparking an interest in my 'merry muse!'  It's only shown it's face one other time and I haven't had the guts to post that one yet...You'll all think I have gone to the looney bin! LOL  This was great, you said just the right words and my muse just started writing! Thanks again!
Huggles!
Cindi

Titia,
Lately I seem to count alot of sheep
Not sure of when I'll get to sleep
My muse just cant seem to sit still
When it's something merry write she will!

Glad you enjoyed this! It's nice to have pictures to see who you are talking to huh?  

What do ya think Marge? LOL

Thanks again Titia!
Huggles!

Yo Cindi  
Wow, this made me drowzy...    Counting sheep never really worked for me at all, for some reason.  I just couldn't do it... maybe I didn't have the patience?
Well this was clever and fun... love your style.  Keep it cool, gal.  
Yours,

I am amazed in here that folks can write  deep passionate poems and then write something that makes you giggle.  It just goes to prove romantics have a sense of humor. Giggle

I am a hopeless romantic at that...I love to see if I can challenge myself and make something funny...Marge challenged me on this one just with one word, I like to giggle so it made it pretty easy, although I wasn't always able to write anything silly!
Thanks
Cindi
