Heaps Of Sheeps |
| I realised my fists were clenched, |
| I stretched my fingers to relax. |
| Still not sleeping, I tried counting sheep. |
| One by one, |
| They leapt across the fence |
| Constructed for them, |
| Right to left, |
| Across the fence I bad constructed. |
| Having jumped, |
| They refused further direction. |
| Each sheep, where it landed, |
| Refusing to exit, remained. |
| (Certain a vast writhing heap |
| Growing fast on the left). |
| Try as I might, |
| I could not stop them entering |
| Once again. |
| Try as they might, |
| Not one could leave the stage. |
| I realised my fists were clenched. |
| I stretched my fingers. |
| Each sheep were it landed, |
| Refusing to exit, remained. |
| (Creating a vast writhing heap |
| Growing quickly on one side). |
| Try as they might, |
| Not one could leave the stage, |
| Try as I might, |
| I could not stop them entering, |
| Once again. |
| No longer daring to close my eyes, |
| Still not sleeping. |
| I realised my goose was cooked |
| I wondered shipshaped on the shore. |
