Dust Bunny - Nursery Rhyme

“Oh, dust bunny, dust bunny, underneath my bed,
go hop along, go hop along, now shoo!”
But this funny dust bunny sang a song instead,
a lullaby for little Mary Lou:

“Lay down gently on your pillow, rest your weary little head,
and listen to the soothing sound of rain.
For I will keep you safe from monsters underneath your bed,
just close your eyes so sleep can come again … 
Just close your eyes and sleep will come again.”
