Eat

*****

Eat a hungry mouthful

But please be careful not to

Spill any onto the floor

For in will coming marching

Of tiny little hunger ants

Followed by hundreds of spiders

Spinning their webs as they dance

Leading a chorus of croaking frogs

And meowing and barking cats and dogs,

Loud honking geese, donkeys and bray,

Zebras and tigers that growls as they roar

As trumpeting elephant break down the door.

So eat a hungry mouthful

Then eat a spoonful more

But unless your house is big as a zoo

Don't spill any onto the floor.

Sleepy Rhyme

*************

Sleep is a wonderful thing.

It comes in and steals

My worries and ills

And leaves in their stead

Sweet dreams in my head.

Where nothing is bad

And no one is sad

And everyone thinks

In happy and pink

If you don't believe

Close your eyes and you'll see

That sleep is a marvelous thing!
