A Culled Sheep Can’t Help You Sleep

Oh,

mass of fluff,

do you really help

people sleep?

I tried counting you

as I stared at the ceiling

for the umpteenth time

but all I could think was:

how terrified the first man

must have been when

he contracted syphilis.

After that thought manifested,

one by one,

the ones I failed to count died.

A culled sheep can’t help you sleep,

especially if you have a wicked mind.
