Lullaby for Dreamland

Come now, little children,
Let’s turn out the light,
Lay down on your pillows,
Let’s go nighty-night.

You all must be happy,
And never be cross,
Think of white bunnies,
And pink candy floss.

Ignore all those vampires,
And dragons and gnomes,
They can be found in,
The finest of homes.

Those trolls in the closet,
I think they’re asleep,
And werewolves have other,
Appointments to keep.

Don’t fret on those monsters,
Down under your bed,
Perhaps they’ll eat Mommy,
And Daddy instead.

Those giants and zombies,
And ogres and ghouls,
They all are attending,
Appropriate schools.

So think of bright rainbows,
You must concentrate,
Forget all those bad things,
Before it’s too late.

I’m closing the door now,
To stifle the screams,
So goodnight little darlings,
And have pleasant dreams.
