Bedtime Story\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come hear a story children,
\nand help me make it real.
\nTake the path that Alice took
\nand spin the golden wheel.<\/p>\n

Come chase that strange white rabbit
\ndown to the Mad Hatter\u2019s place,
\nthen search for the grinning cat
\nwho somehow lost his face.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go meet Cinderella.
\nLet\u2019s shake the Prince\u2019s hand.
\nLet\u2019s take the yellow brick road
\nand fly to Neverland.<\/p>\n

Come meet Christopher Robin.
\nand nap with Winnie-the-Pooh
\nLets fret with Piglet and Eeyore
\nand romp with Tigger and Roo.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll fight off witches and dragon
\nand see a ticking crocodile.
\nLet\u2019s find out where the sidewalk ends,
\nthen sit and rest awhile.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll drink from a chocolate river
\nand care for Paddington Bear.
\nThen stop and watch the tortoise
\noutrun that lazy hare.<\/p>\n

Just listen to the stories children,
\nand listen to them well.
\nJust sleep and we will go there
\nto see them for ourselves.<\/p>\n

Fairy Tale?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once upon a time,
\n(or so the story goes)
\nin a land so far away,
\n(or right here for all we know)
\nthere was a great occurence,
\n(or a mediocre one)
\nsomething to do with the moon,
\n(or maybe it was the sun).
\nThis country was in turmoil,
\n(or it could have been okay)
\nbut I\u2019m sure it was a country,
\n(at least that\u2019s what they say).
\nand the hero was this girl,
\n(or it might have been a guy)
\nand they lived happily ever after,
\nno wait\u2026. I\u2019m sure they died.<\/p>\n

My Kingdom<\/strong><\/p>\n

Come into my kingdom
\nof wizards and elves
\nwhere we can be anyone
\nbut we can\u2019t be ourselves.<\/p>\n

With magical mirrors
\nand bizarre crystal balls,
\nwith high-towered castles
\nwhere you can walk through
\nthe walls.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s goblins and gremlins
\nthere\u2019s witches and gnomes.
\nWhere you can be by yourself
\nand yet not be alone.<\/p>\n

We have fairies and pixies
\nand deep wishing wells,
\nwhere you can speak of your secrets
\nand no one will tell.<\/p>\n

There is good and there\u2019s evil
\nthere is right and there\u2019s wrong.
\nFor this is a kingdom
\nwhere we all belong.<\/p>\n

Come into my kingdom
\nwhere things aren\u2019t as they seem.
\nFor this is the fantasy
\nyou see in your dreams<\/p>\n

Ode to Shel Silverstein<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who are you when you\u2019re with me?
\nAre you the you you\u2019d like to be?
\nI\u2019d like to be with you, you see
\nand be the me I\u2019d like to be.<\/p>\n

And if we two, that\u2019s me and you,
\nwere the \u201cwe\u201d we wanted to,
\nwould we be happy instead of blue,
\nif I were me and you were you?<\/p>\n

But if I were you and you were me
\noh what chaos that would be.
\nSo you be you and I\u2019ll be me
\nand all will wish
\nthat they were we.<\/p>\n

The World\u2019s Greatest Chef<\/strong><\/p>\n

Little John Christopher
\nmade a mud pie.
\nIt stretched to the sea
\nand it rose to the sky.
\nHe worked every day
\n\u2018till the sun went down,
\nand soon a crowd gathered from all over town.
\nHe used everything
\nfrom dirt to fresh cloves
\nwith a secret ingredient
\nthat nobody knows.
\nBut after a few weeks
\nthat pie went to waste.
\nThat scrumptious mud pie,
\nthat no one would taste.<\/p>\n

The Wishing Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two hundred years ago,
\nin a land so far away,
\nthere was a legend told
\nto the children one spring day.<\/p>\n

The wizard of the town
\ntold the story of the sky.
\nHe said the moon\u2019s a crystal ball
\nwith one all-seeing eye.<\/p>\n

He said there is a fence,
\nwith a tree along the side
\nand the moon had seen a girl,
\nwho sat beneath and cried.<\/p>\n

And the moon, he felt compassion,
\nfor the girl beneath the tree.
\nhe cried a lonely tear for her,
\nwhich fell into the sea.<\/p>\n

The tear looked like a star,
\nshooting in the nite.
\nand the young girl gazed upon it,
\nas it fell far from her sight.<\/p>\n

And aloud she made a wish,
\nand the moon above her smiled,
\nand he granted her that wish,
\nfor her faith was as a childs’.<\/p>\n

And ever since that nite,
\nthe moon has watched that tree,
\nso if you ever sit beneath,
\nplease make a wish for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
