one sheep
two sheep
and I’m trying to fall asleep.
three sheep
four sheep
I can’t remember what I’m waiting for.
five sheep
six sheep
but I can hear their howl.
seven sheep
eight sheep
there must be wolves at the door.
nine sheep
ten sheep
or my husband returned from war.
eleven sheep
twelve sheep
when did I get out in the hall?
another sheep
and a sheep
I don’t know what I’m looking for.
a sheep
and a sheep
and I hear a roar.
sheep
and sheep
why was I coming at the door ?
a sheep
another sheep
I must go and try to sleep.
one sheep
two sheep
and I’m trying to fall asleep.
