About Last Night

 

Last night I couldn't
get to sleep
and lay in bed
counting sheep.

I got all the way
to number ten
when one run off
and I had to start again.


Featured: A new cushion.

The cushion is absolutely beautiful, and the poem is spot on - every time I try to count sheep to get to sleep they all get a bit unruly! Have a great weekend. xx

I use the blink very slowly ten times trick. It usually works, but not always for the entire night. Cutest poem and lovely cushion and an excellent way to use up the stash.
