Read
the poem. Then answer the questions.
Counting
Sheep
Toss
and turn, turn and toss.
At
least a million sheep I count.
Toss
and turn, I still can't sleep.
Instead
the sheep jump one by one.
I
don't know why this doesn't work.
Why do I lie here awake?
Wait
a sec! Don't sheep need sleep?
Back
in the pen they go.
"Good
night, sheep," I say to them,
And
then I promptly fall asleep.
