536. Lullaby: Another Snarkie.


Snarkies seem to be preferred, so 

here's another, a lullaby in -- of all

things! -- rhyme.  How traditional,

how quaint!



       Lullaby



Lullaby O my dear one

Sweet dreams and good night

May demons torment you

And your worries choke tight.


Hush now my darling

These hours are blessed

May nightmares besiege you

With fury and zest.


Close your eyes, rest your noggin

And your brain full of lead

If your bladder malfunctions

Please don’t wet the bed.


Lullaby and good night

Since I can’t wish you well

Sleep deep and forever

Dear lover from hell.



Appropriate for Valentine's Day, so maybe I'll republish it then.
