A dog and her humans are resting
until the girl begins requesting
Every book to be read
Before it’s time for bed
Thus began the endless protesting
Nestled on a blanket of stars
They rifle through the charming memoirs
Of monsters and muppets
And Little Ms. Tuffet
And children who live in boxcars
Dreamland grows near
Bedtime is here
Let’s turn out the lights
Snuggle your pup
Pretty soon you’ll be up
With the morning sun so bright
