I'll Take the Sheep

I heard a relaxation tape

That’s meant to help you sleep,

Its soothing tones enticing you

To slumber, sans the sheep.

 

A female voice suggested

That you focus on your day,

Especially on upbeat things

Encountered on your way.

 

Think back on all the foods you ate,

The veggies and the fruit,

Reflecting on where they were grown

And where they went en route.

 

Next concentrate on someone who

Brings joy and makes you smile

And hopefully your eyes will close

Or start to, in a while.

 

The disembodied voice droned on,

Releasing to the void

Suggestions which may work for some,

But just made me annoyed.
