As the sun sets and the stars come out,
It's time for little ones to sleep, no doubt.
Curl up in your cozy bed of wool,
And drift off to dreamland, feeling cool.

Count some sheep to help you doze,
Their soft wool will calm your woes.
Listen to the purr of your cat,
As she snuggles close, that's where it's at.

As you close your eyes and start to slumber,
Your mind begins to wander and wonder.
Of all the adventures yet to be had,
And the lots of fun that will make you glad.

So let the sleep come and take you away,
To a land where dreams can come and play.
With wooly sheep and cats that purr,
There's no telling what your dreams may stir.
