Stampede

Wake up, wake up, you sleepy head
There’s a herd of rhinos eyeballing your bed!
But use caution, Brother, avert your eyes
That flamingo in the doorway is awfully shy

Good morning, Sister, I’d skip breakfast today
Or that moose in the kitchen might take it away.
Be careful if planning on watching cartoons
Because those wolves on the couch are threatening doom!

Anton, don’t brush your teeth. Emmie, don’t comb your hair
The bees in the cabinet might startle the bear.
Just stay in your bed and don’t plan to play
Good morning, kids.  Did JJ tell you? It’s April Fool’s Day…
