A Bedtime Story

"Tell me a story,"
Says Witch's Child
About the Beast
So fierce and wild
About a Ghost
That shrieks and groans
A Skeleton
That rattles bones
About a Monster
Crawly-creepy
Something nice
To make me sleepy!

A Bedtime Story
by Kylie C.

"Tell me a story,"
Says the zookeeper's child.
About the lion strong and wild.
A wolf that's fierce and howls.
A bear, that has a low growl.
About a crocodile,
Scaly and creepy
Something scary
To make me sleepy!

A Bedtime Story
by Alexis M.

Tell me a story
Says a farmers child,
About the oinking pigs,
The cows that moo!
About moms wig,
That is green,
And about the beets,
In the garden,
The muddy streets,
Something that is dirty,
To make me sleepy!

A Bedtime Story
by Katelyn H.

“Tell me a story”,
Says the cops child.
About the burglar that you caught.
So crazy and wild.
About a mystery that you solved.
That took so long!
A Canary,
That sings a beautiful song.
About a tiring thing,
Something sleeping,
To make ME sleepy.

A Bedtime Story
by McKenna R.

“Tell me a story”
Says the hobo’s child.
About the streets.
So black and tiled.
About a train.
So new not scratched.
A pleasant home
Our roof not thatched.
About a kitchen
Scented nice
Something sweet.
Like sugar and spice!

A Bedtime Story
by Marcus M.

"Tell me a story,"
Says the videogamers child
About the Mafia II game
So awesome and wild
About a creeper
That kills and blows
An alien
That does glow
About a child
Sleepy Me-pey
Something fun
To make me sleepy

A Bedtime Story
by Josh D.

"Tell me a story,"
Says the hippy's child
About the fairies
That are so wild
About your musical banjo
That sounds like an el rancho
About the weirdo
That has 12 hounds
That giggles so loud
It shakes the house in sound
About your VW van
That looks like Peter Pan
About your funky glasses
That look like big basses
Something nice
That makes me so sleepy.

A Bedtime Story
by Cassie L.


“Tell me a story,”
Says the zookeeper’s child
About a lion so crazy and wild
About a kangaroo
So weird and hoppy
About a bear
So lazy and woppy
About a leopard
So scary and creepy
Something nice
To make me sleepy.
