~sleepy, Silly, Slumber~
I'm sleepy, but my eyes are opened wide!
I get in bed and crawl under the covers to hide.
"Shh....did you hear that"? I ask."I heard something"!
"Oh, it was just your imagination", you say..."it's nothing".
Okay I whisper, and I close my eyes tight!
you whisper "Do you want me to turn on the light"?
"No," I say and slowly peek out over the top of the cover at you.
"Then go to sleep," you say annoyed! And that's just what I do!
"Hey, what was that"!? you ask jumping up out of bed!
I laugh at you still half asleep, as I sleepily shake my head.
"It's nothing"! I laugh, "Come back to bed now".
"Okay". You say still unsure, then like a macho man you smile.
"Don't worry baby I'll protect you, if anything happens tonight"!
I laugh and then ask you, "Do you wanna turn on the light"?
"No, I'm fine, I certainly don't need it, what about you"?
"I'm good" I say drifting off into dreamland where dreams come true.
"Mommy, Daddy,"! We hear a shriek! "I heard a loud noise"!
I get to their room quickly and that's when I notice the toys!
I point to their toys all thrown in one big pile behind the door.
I bend down to pick up his dinosaur thats buried on the floor.
We all share a good laugh and get back to our dreams in dreamland!.
Maybe tomorrow night we can repeat this all over again!
