Lullaby

For this assignment we had to create a poem using the words that are bolded and use one proverb or familiar phrase.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I will not, will not go to bed! Though Mother says I must
I ask her, “Please?” in my sweet voice, I make a big 'ole fuss
I needle her a little more, “I want to have a drink”
“Me too”, she says and then she laughs, I don’t know what to think
I pretend I am a puppy, I whir, I lick, I bite
But Mother says, “Even little pups must go nighty-night”
I ask for my stuffed bunny, she lets out a great big sigh
Then she says,”Its always best, to let sleeping bunnies lie”
“I will not go to bed”, I say,” I will not sleep tonight”
She lays a kiss on my sleepy eyes and then turns out the light
