| Illustration by: Henriette Willebeek Le Mair (1889-1966) To Bed She Said Night little monkey man, Night my glorious steed, Night my donkey friend, Time for me to go and read. Up and off to bed I ran, Under covers like sister said, Her to her room I did send, Because its time for bed. Stories to read, I did plan, In came Mom, to bed she said. So under covers I did blend, Cuz in came Mom, to bed she said. Petrina Lesko January 2011 |
