Goodnight Yellow House

(With apologies to Margaret Wise Brown.)

In the
little yellow house,

there was a television and a yellow blouse and a picture of -
A happy spouse.

And there were

lots of plants

And a dog who can
dance
(Not pictured: dancing)

And
spiffy hats

And a
silly cat

And a dog with
dumb looks

And lots of
books

And a flock of
toy ducks

And a dog learning to
trust

And a grad student whispering
"school sucks"
Goodnight house
Goodnight blouse

Goodnight to the
Happy spouse

Goodnight food and goodnight mouse


Goodnight
plants


Goodnight
dog who can dance
(Not pictured: dancing)

Goodnight

hats

And
goodnight cat

Goodnight dumb looks, goodnight books


Goodnight house

Goodnight spouse

Goodnight crates and goodnight ducks
Goodnight
Nova

And goodnight
Trust

Goodnight grad student whispering,
"school sucks"

Goodnight house
Goodnight stars

Goodnight to

the P,
Wherever you are.
