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

A Poem by O!
"

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…

BaaaaaBaaaaa….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!
