Little Bo-Peep's dilema ... (Form: Limerick-ish LOL)
The Sleeping Aid

Little Bo-Peep was counting sheep
but sleep would not come quickly.
Rubbing her head
she mumbled and said,
"Where can it be?" rather thickly.

"Did the sandman creep and steal my sleep
as I tossed and turned and waited?"
Twixt the pro and con
she rambled on
as she, with herself, debated.

She wiped at her eye and with a sigh
she drifted off into snoring.
Her own conversation
was the causation.
She found herself utterly boring.

Thank you for taking time to read my words. I would appreciate it if you took a moment and left a comment. Your reaction, impressions, criticisms, - yes, even praise *Smile* - are all equally welcome.
