Count Sheep and Fall Asleep

They stand there and stare

It is probably not about you that they care

They come and they go

Moving to and fro 

Through their wool the wind does blow

Every one is unique 

But it might not be you that they greet

Just have to make sure they are complete

There is not one that you should delete 

They are not here to compete 

But you don't need to remember them by name for this game 

None of them are seeking fame

I know you think they all look the same 

But for this that is not the aim

Just be certain they all remain

 There is nothing you will really gain

But you might avoid some pain

Anyway you won't complain 

 

You might think it boring 

But soon you will be snoring 

Don't forget granny was right

You will have a good night 

If you count sheep and fall asleep
