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.
