Get the brush and black, <br />Let's paint the sky, <br />Stop those birds from calling by, <br />Take that candle from the shed, <br />Write with the light, 'Time for bed.' <br /> <br />Get those girls in bumblebee blouses <br />To bumble back to their flower tree-houses. <br />Get that wolf choir <br />To howl the moon song, <br />And the fireflies <br />To spell the notes along. <br /> <br />Take this worm off your hook, <br />Pull that line out the brook. <br />All of us know the fish are meek <br />Way down by Sleepy Creek. <br /> <br />Take one last swan dive, <br />Take it way from up on high, <br />Let it ripple a lullaby. <br />And forget those willows, <br />Let them weep, <br />Because little heroes <br />Need to sleep.<br /><br />K.
