Recalling a Dream

Fred Baa Sheep was at the breakfast table as his wife, Ethel Baa-Baa Sheep sat his breakfast before him when he spoke up.

“Did you sleep well last night, Ethel?”

“I went out like a light, Fred. Why?”

“I couldn’t get to sleep right away and tossed and turned for the longest time until I tried something different and I musta went to sleep in no time cause I lost track after eleven.”

“Lost track? Eleven?”

“Yeah. I decided to count humans jumping over fences. I pictured them with baa-baa bad looking clothes on, and some were naked which was scarey. It was silly but it worked. Slept like a baa-baa baby.”

“Fred, that’s funny. We both know humans can’t just jump over a fence, they are so baa-baa bad at it.”

“I know. While I was counting, number eleven told me to stop counting and go to sleep. And I heard the first one who jumped, say, “This was fun. Maybe we can come back and do this again.”

“Fred, you have some of the strangest dreams, baa-baa baby.”
