Scary Dreams

As I lay in bed at night,
I go to turn of the light,
I start to dose off and go to sleep,
I suddenly dream of sheep,
It all starts to fade away,
That’s when I start to fray,
All of a sudden it looks like I’m downtown,
Suddenly I here a sound,
I followed a bright light,
Out of nowhere I got a fright,
I awakened with a scream,
To realise it's just a dream,
I lay back down and go to sleep,
And start to count sheep.
