SHEEPS

SHEEPS

SLEEP, sleep, sleep, sleep
     Those monotonous repetitive words
like a sheep, sheep, sheep
     Keep me awake because I know what's next:

In a jeep, jeep, jeep
     I love that rhyme (of sorts)
Meep, meep, meep, meep
     It's a very profound text

Sheeps in a jeep? Sleep? Meep?
     It fills me forever with wonder
How, by the incessant meep, meep
     Those sheep are hypnotized

SLEEP, sleep, sleep, sleep
     Eyes looking into blue yonder
Like a sheep in a jeep, meep, meep
     Like me, they are paralyzed!
