one...two...three...baa

Can anyone relate to this?

 

788,789, 790…

…3002, 3003, 3004…

The Sheep keep jumping over the fence

and I’m still wide awake as before.

 

5666, 5667, 5668…

…7999, 8000, 8001…

The white I’ve counted and now come the black.

Will I ever be done?

 

1, 2, 3…

…8, 9, 10…

The numbers got too long

so I started counting again.

 

54, 55, 56…

…70, 71, 72…

I’m gonna hafta start counting again

‘cause I stopped to go to the loo.

 

1, 2, 3…

…4, 5, 6…

It’s been so long,

can this really be fixed?

 

80, 81, 82…

…96, 97, 98…

I guess I shouldn’t fight it,

I should be patient and wait.

 

199, 200, 201…

…309, 310, 311…

At some point I thought I’d get to rest

only when I find myself in heaven.

 

361…362…

…363……….364…

Then I suddenly found myself

knocking on dreamland’s door.

 

…365……..366…

Baaaaa…Baaaaa….Black.....Sheep...

……367……….368………369.........370......371....

….372……………………….three…..hundred…and…. seventy-three…

…….Bottles........of ..........Beer............

Been there--done that. I think we all have. Too much caffiene, bell peppers on the pizza, worrying about something--who knows what else might keep one counting and counting? At any rate, I hope you finally dozed off to restful slumber, O!
