What with all the new movie releases and the ageing
geek generation, I think it’s high time for a kid-friendly way of addressing
these important issues. Thus I give you:
Why
Mommy is Sleepy Today
Today is a free day
No school to be had.
But Mommy’s in bed.
Why? Was I bad?
No, little child,
You were not bad
There’s a very good
reason
Your Mommy seems sad.
Last night, she went
out
With lots of her
friends
To see a new movie
That was given all
tens.
She was watching a hero
Do good deeds and
fight.
She clapped and she
laughed
Well into the night.
So Mommy is tired.
Mommy needs sleep.
You want to help Mommy?
Then don’t make a peep.
Keep quiet, keep still
Keep your mouth shut
real tight.
Because Mommy went out
And watched movies all
night.
Tomorrow, she’ll laugh.
Tomorrow she’ll sing.
Tomorrow she’ll talk.
Today: not a thing.
Sometimes your parents
Just want a night out.
And sometimes a movie
Has just enough clout:
They need it right
now.
They just cannot wait.
They go out in the dark
With their soul mate.
They love their big
heroes
And monsters so scary
They stay up too late.
The next day: they are
wary.
It’s a special party.
It’s kind of a treat.
To stay up so late
And see something so
neat.
So, when you are bigger
and have your own car
You too can go out
And see the film star.
But for now, you will
wait.
You’ll see a day show.
Though the hours seem
long
And the time oh so
slow.
You’ll soon get a turn.
Until then, please be
quiet.
You see, child violence
Will insight a riot.
So goodnight Mommy
Please have a good
sleep.
I’ll be quiet today
I won’t make a peep.
But when I am older
And have my own way.
I too will stay out
Until break of day.
I’ll see the new movies
I will laugh, I will
cry.
But for now, peace and
quiet.
I don’t want to die.
And so, on this moral
I’ll let you chew:
Please; be kind to the
sleepy
Or we’ll kill all of
you.
The end
