Sleep

Sleep

downward-facin' somethin'

another up-start
gonna break my heart

am I a two-tone tart
and is this really art

exactly what part of
afraid of the dark
is getting the best of you

don't ya know that the u-tube
has thousands of ways to soothe you

and it cost a lot less than booze

funny, isn't it
that someone somewhere
couldn't sleep
so she started counting sheep

there's nothin' left
for her to teach

another sermon
she need not preach

more words this night
she will not speak...

it's time to...
count some sheep
and drift off to sleep...
