Poetry from the book {The Lion and the Sun} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

         Sleepy time, sleepy time, bedtime too

When the lights turn off the bat does his air show, swooping to and fro

    The bat does a tap dance on the butter dish

Like a leaf the bat lands on my bed, he rustles up to my head, and sticks his tounge in my ear, and cuddles up to my cheek

The rat bumps open my door, takes the bat by the wings and gulps him down

The rat moves to my feet, raps his tail around my toes, and cuddles

An alley cat pops out of the old stove pipe, and eats the rat

He cuddles and purrs and rips out my chest hair

A girl comes in my room, rips the cat off my chest and eats the cat

She gets in my bed and cuddles, purrs, and spoons

A tiger comes eats the girl and cuddles and purrs

A great horned owl that lives in my chimney arrives and pecks the tiger to death

The owl cuddles and says," Who! Who! Who!"
