It only takes me about 5 minutes for such nonsense, and as you can tell = this one was definitely NOT edited! :-D But it was fun. I have written many children's story-poems, but I've only put them on my blog. I would love for you to check them out, but I know your time is valuable, and my pockets are empty! But if you want to waste a little time some day, just let me know at calhounpaula@ymail.com and you can read them without having to make one single critique! Maybe just to give you a smile or two.

I wrote this little poem about someone who couldn’t<br />sleep without sheep. It bears no<br />relationship to your charming book, but I’m sending it along just for what I<br />hope will be your pleasure. If I had my<br />good computer with me, I could probably even sing it for you, but it definitely<br />does not count as a jingle! Best to you<br />and thanks for all you do to keep our creative juices flowing!<br /><br />Leaping Sheep are<br />Best for Sleep<br /><br />Paula Tohline Calhoun<br /><br /> <br /><br />Have you ever tried falling asleep in your bed,<br />When your eyes want to close, but stay open instead?<br />I tried reading each book I had to be read,<br />gargling peanut butter while I stood on my head!<br /><br />When that didn’t send me to slumber-land<br />I listened to the music of a marching band.<br />But wonder of wonders, despite what I’d planned,<br />I think being awake had the upper hand.<br /><br />There were so many dreams to look forward to<br />I was worried I’d never find the right clue!<br />I’d used all the tricks for sleeping I knew!<br />Some unheard of, and some tried and true.<br /><br />And then an idea popped into my mind:<br />Was there something more soothing I could find?<br />Maybe gargling peanut butter wasn’t the kind<br />Of thing that should be frequently combined<br /><br />With trying to get a good night’s sleep!<br />So I asked for advice from my friend Bo-Peep.<br />“Have you ever seen my little sheep<br />Leap over the fence to my garden keep?<br /><br />“Whenever your eyes refuse to close,<br />Imagine you’re counting each one as it goes,<br />jumping, to land where the sweet clover grows.<br />Quick as a wink, you’ll begin to doze!”<br /><br />I was doubtful then that such a peaceful thing:<br />Restful as hearing cows moo or birds sing<br />Could ever in a million years bring<br />Sleep to me sweet as a day in spring!<br /><br />So, if you’ve tried sleeping by tumbling around<br />On your mattress to make the bedsprings sound<br />As though they might break, dashing you to the ground <br />So loud that Bo-Peep’s sheep won’t be found <br /><br />Remember my story, about how to sleep:<br />No peanut butter, marching, or falling in a heap!<br />Just let the lambs do the hard work and leap -<br />Don’t ever try going to sleep without sheep!<br /><br />I wish you the best! I am a very close and dear friend of Jean Gralley - are you familiar with her - she too is a successful and brilliant children's book author and illustrator. See her website at:<br /><br />www.jeangralley.com<br />Cheer! I wish you all the blessings of the abundance of enough. . .<br />Paula Tohline CalhounPaula T.
