Lullaby

 

Two yellow mice in a canoe

sailed all the way to green Peru

finding their home

housing a gnome

or two

both colored blue

 

Three scarlet flies skating bye

urging the deep pink ones to try

a figure eight

drawn with one skate

in the air

with five footed flair

 

Look, there runs the turnip man

eating all the marzipan

where will he go

upon feet so

soft they would melt in your hand

 

Fourteen tin soldiers on parade

nudging each other to behave

just like the rest

'cause that's the way

that you best

please the King

 

Four airborne zebras in the sky

learning the proper way to fly

from a baboon

watching the moon

sail by

see them fly

 

Look, here come the minstrel boys

bringing their amazing toys

for the children in the garden

and if you're nice

perhaps you're there

 

 

February 1976
