



   A foxtrot above my head
   A sock hop beneath my bed

    in the ed sound not long E sound.

   Leave my door open just a crack
   (Please take me away from here)
   'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
   (Please take me away from here)
    Why do I tire of counting sheep
   (Please take me away from here)
   When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
   This is Alliteration, because it repeats the
    same thing after another.

    the same line.
   Personification
   Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
   From ten thousand lightning bugs

    how to dance. 

   'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
   From ten thousand lightning bugs
   As they tried to teach me how to dance

    exaggerated statement that is not true.
   Sight
   You would not believe your eyes
   If ten million fireflies
   Lit up the world as I fell asleep
   This is imagery, because it is talking about
    sight . You would not believe your eyes.

   'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
   From ten thousand lightning bugs
   As they tried to teach me how to dance
   This is touch, because the lightning bugs are
    hugging him and that is touch.
   Sight
   I'd like to make myself believe
   That planet Earth turns slowly
   It's hard to say that I'd rather stay

       This is sight, because when the Earth turns it
        becomes night and day.
