Today is the day you get to vote for your favorite jingle!
You've got two big decisions ahead of you, so I won't waste your time with a long intro. Just go through the entries below, and after you've viewed them all, choose your favorite and vote! Feel free to have your friends and relations visit and vote too. You will have until Thursday May 16 at noon EDT to cast your vote, and I will announce the winner on Friday after Perfect Picture Books. The prizes (if you need a refresher) can be viewed HERE.
Oh and BTW, I'm sorry I couldn't get all the entires to load right here. I tried. But you know me and technology. So I apologize if you have to click. They should at least all open in separate windows or tabs!
Ready? Set? Vote!

#2 Vivian - rhyme, no tune
Ava Ava needs some sleep.
Ava Ava counts some sheep.
Ava Ava wide awake!
Ava Ava take a break,
Count some pigs and cows instead.
Much too noisy for my bed!
If you please, I need my sleep
Cannot sleep without my sheep.

#4 Heather - camp chant
Leader: What do you do when you cannot sleep?
Group: Call for sheep! Call for sheep!
Leader: What will you do when they jump the gate?
Group: Count and wait! Count and wait!
Leader: What are you waiting for?
Group: Sleep! Sleep! Sleep!
Leader: What kind of sleep?
Group: Long and deep!
Leader: What will you do when the sheep wear out?
Group: Um’s and uh’s and shoulder shrugs.
Leader: Sounds like you guys need a back up plan. Read Susanna Hill’s E-Book “Can’t Sleep Without Sheep” to find out what happens after the sheep get tired.
#5 Delores - to the tune of Ghost Riders In The Sky
Go HERE to hear Delores sing it!
Young Ava
she went to bed
one dark and stormy night.
She said "Oh Mommy
please,
please don't turn out the light.
I've lost my sheep
and I can't sleep
without him by my side.
How will I get to sleep tonight."
was her mournful cry.
"I need my sheep.
I need my shee-eep.
No sleep for me tonight."
Up in the land of happy dreams
her mournful cry was heard
and one brave soul raised his head
and gazed upon his herd.
"We're needed now
and we must run
to stand by Ava's side.
If we don't bleat
she won't sleep.
Come on my friends, let's ride."
"She needs her sheep.
She needs her shee-eep.
Let's help her sleep tonight."
They gathered
all around her bed
their bleating rose on high.
Young Ava smiled
and counted them
as round her bed they'd fly.
"I've got some sheep
now I can sleep
and every thing's all right.
Brave Wulliam and the herd
have come to save the night.
I've got some sheep
Now I can slee-eep
Now I can sleep tonight."

Ava hard time fallin’ asleep
Pigs and hippos too slow
and through the fence go buffalow
Lots of rushin’
Tush Tushin’
Haulin’ and hollerin’
Crowdy and rowdy
Oh sheep…come back!
