February 15th
Let me set the stage:
Lillian my almost 5 year old going on "I know everything better", found the stash of candy. It is 10:30 p.m.and she is bouncing off the walls. To keep my sanity I write poems. This is what I came up with for this situation!
Lillian
Happy girl-
why don't you sleep?
Your mother-
is tired and ready to weep!
Happy girl-
why are you awake?
Your mother-
is weary and ready to break!
Happy girl-
Why don't you dream?
Your mother
is exhausted and ready to scream!
Happy girl-
why are you climbing a wall?
Your mother-
is fatigued and ready to bawl!
Happy girl, tell your mother you are
ready to see, Princess Bubblegum in
dreamland, please do it for me!
