A Real Sleeper

Once upon a time a sheep rancher sold special sheep exclusively to insomniacs.

Instead of counting sheep, these sheep hummed their owners to sleep. Humming is very peaceful.

One sheep though would “Bah” instead of hum.
This really got the rancher’s goat (ha!).
The rancher named him Bug. You know why.

The rancher yelled, “Hum, Bug!”
But Bug would only “Bah” back, black sheep that he was.

The rancher couldn’t sleep, and long after the moon stood high in the midnight sky, he’d shout:

“Don’t Bah! Hum, Bug!

His business might have gone bankrupt except that he sold Bug to a narcoleptic.

  I meant it as a compliment. I’m envious of what comes out of that mind, though I know if I were a grade school teacher and you were one of my students, you’d probably be visiting the principal more than my classroom.

    I liked my principal. He used to play jazz accordion with my dad.
