Come on little man, time for bed
Oh can’t I watch TV instead
Brush your teeth, then I’ll read a book
Not teeth Mummy – Let me off the hook

Put on your pyjamas, brush your hair
- I think I’ve lost my teddy bear
It’s here, now climb on into bed
Ouch I think I’ve bumped my head

I’ll rub it better – now the book
I think it’s bleeding – take a look
It’s fine now settle down my dear
- there’s wetness is it red or clear

Goodnight, now give the sheet a tug
Mum…
…Mum
…Mum
…can I have a hug


Night Night

bookmark, I agree! We certainly have been there! I don't agree with Alice, though - girls are MUCH harder work! (I've had one of each - very organised!)

I enjoyed it. Well done.

Have you ever read the children's book 'Bedtime for Francis': it was one of my favourites as a child! Affectionate piece, Kind regards, Nikki

Hi Bookmark,

This is one of the best of its kind that I have read for some time. I would strongly recommend you put a group together and submit them. I think that this lends itself to some amusing illustration, too.

Well done, much enjoyed.

Now, try to explain to two year old where New Zealand is!!!
