after Lilian Moore
“Tell me a story,” said the pig’s child,
“about the battle between pigs and cows,
about the pig that stepped on a mouse,
about the stinking cat bone,
about the story of home sweet home.”
“No, no,” said the mom,
“it is time for you to yawn.”
“Please, please,” said the child.
“No,” said the mom,
“You will go wild!”
“Please,” the child begged.
“Alright,” answered the mom,
“I will tell you a story, and it is called Goodnight!”
she said, as she turned out the light.
