Heaps of Sheeps

I realized, my fists were clenched

I stretched my fingers to relax

Still not sleeping, I tried counting sheep

One by one, they leap 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 realized 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 realized my goose was cooked

I wondered ship shaped on the shore
