Goodnight Mess
A bedtime story for mothers everywhere
by: Anne Adolphson
*
In the great living room
There was a juice box
And an old nasty spoon
And a scattered pile of -
And a scattered pile of -
*
And a heap of Lego blocks
*
Old milk in a cup
*
A baby that fussed, not to mention the dust
And a disgruntled old lady wallowing in her disgust
*
Goodnight mess
Goodnight stress
Goodnight dirty, soiled dress
*
Goodnight dollhouse
I hope that's not poop from a mouse!
*
While looking at her impending doom
The old lady knew her husband wouldn't help anytime soon
*
But then she thought, "What's all the fuss?"
"And I'll try not to cuss"
*
"For tomorrow is a new day"
"So I might as well go lay"
"I will put those kids to work"
"So it's sure to be okay"
*
Goodnight mountain of laundry
And sink full of dishes
*
She knows it won't get done tonight
No matter how hard she wishes
*
So, goodnight gross house
*
Goodnight musty air
*
A baby that fussed, not to mention the dust
And a disgruntled old lady wallowing in her disgust
*
Goodnight mess
Goodnight stress
Goodnight dirty, soiled dress
*
Goodnight dollhouse
I hope that's not poop from a mouse!
*
While looking at her impending doom
The old lady knew her husband wouldn't help anytime soon
*
But then she thought, "What's all the fuss?"
"And I'll try not to cuss"
*
"For tomorrow is a new day"
"So I might as well go lay"
"I will put those kids to work"
"So it's sure to be okay"
*
Goodnight mountain of laundry
And sink full of dishes
*
She knows it won't get done tonight
No matter how hard she wishes
*
So, goodnight gross house
*
Goodnight musty air
*
Goodnight messes everywhere
