When you tell somebody that you can't fall asleep, they tell you to count sheep, and that will make you fall asleep.
But what if you have a lot of things on your mind?
What if you're thinking about a guy?
What if you're an insomniac?
And what if you're just afraid of sleeping?
Then there's the type of sheep you'd be counting.
Are they white or black?
Are they fat or thin?
Have they already been sheared?
Are they dirty or clean?
Are they cute of ugly?
There's also the fence to be taken account of. Then the sky, the grass, the clouds, the sun, the moon, the atmosphere, the weather, and whether or not there's a farmer.
Wouldn't counting sheep just make it harder to fall asleep?

Haha agreed!
ReplyDeleteWhen I used to *try* to count sheep, I'd get all frustrated because I kept losing count and then I'd get mad and throw something across the room then go "oh shoot" and run across the room to clean it up... etc... and then the whole cycle repeats. :D
