Hush Hush-A-By Hush Puppies

Hush-a-by little baby The lambs are bleating in the meadow The local crooks are down the way Giving hush money to all of them as pay Hush puppy quiet. The fox will hear us come. So hush puppy quiet. And all the hush be done. Hush my dearest, close your sleepy eyes. The butter’s out in the kitchen, drawing in some flies. Hush-a-by little baby The older children must get their rest They have to go to school tomorrow And take a science test Get those suede hush puppies ready For they are for my children’s darling little feet Hush you local crooks with hush money! If you wake my lambs, they will bleat.

I love the way you morph phrases together. You make me loosen my poetry tongue and ride along.

I like that. We can all be too tight sometimes.
