And drifts across the sky,
She tucks in all the sleepy stars,
With a lullaby and sigh.

A dragon with a ticklish nose,
Sneezed out a plume of fire!
He toasted all his marshmallows,
Then said, “Well, that’s my pyre!”

My tooth is doing the cha-cha,
It wiggles to and fro—
I think it’s got a suitcase packed,
And soon it’s gonna go!

My backpack marched around the room,
With pencils in a line,
My crayons waved their little flags,
And said, “It’s drawing time!”

Made all of fluff and white,
It barked and bounced and then it turned
Into a goose in flight!

Its leaves go “tee-hee-hee!”
I gave its trunk a little poke—

They’re jumping on my plate,
They flip and flop and do a dance—

At night when all is quiet,
My bear begins to hum,
He tiptoes off to visit stars,
And plays a starry drum.

I found some peas beneath my chair,
Who didn’t like the spoon,
They rolled and laughed and played a game—
A veggie-hiding tune!

A pirate swung across the bars,
And shouted, “Ahoy, me matey!”
He dug up treasure near the slide—
A snack that smelled real gravy!

My shoes ran off without me,
They said, “We need a run!”
They danced around the garden patch,
And tanned beneath the sun.

A tiny gnome with purple boots
Lives inside my drawer,
He munches all my homework sheets
And whispers, “Got some more?”

13. Rainbow in My Juice

I stirred my orange juice today—
A rainbow spun around!
It sang a song of lemon drops,
And twirled without a sound.

I’ve got a pet you cannot see,
She’s made of clouds and light,
She chirps and zips and guards my dreams
When I fall asleep at night.

A billion ants marched up my toe,
To say hello and cheer—
They brought along a crumb parade,
With jam and cake and cheer!

It started with a tiny chuckle,
Then giggles filled the air,
We laughed until the sky turned pink—
And bubbles flew everywhere!

He’s really not that scary,
He’s got a funny name—
Sir Snortle Pants the Fluffy
Who’s terrible at games!

My red crayon said, “Color bold!”
The blue one said, “Draw skies!”
The yellow crayon giggled loud
And doodled sunshine eyes!

And whispered, “What a view!”
She flapped her wings and off we flew—
Through clouds of purple blue!

Close your eyes, the stars are out,
The moon is standing guard,
Your dreams are lined up in a row
And giggles aren’t too far.

And it gave a little grin,
It wiggled like a jellyfish,
Then stuck its giggle in!

I packed a snack for outer space—
A sandwich on a cloud,
The stars said, “Hey, that smells so good!”
And gobbled it out loud.

One sock went on vacation,
It vanished from my drawer,
I found it in my brother’s shoe—
It wanted to explore!

It rained down rainbow jellybeans,
Right from a giggle cloud,
We danced and laughed and caught a few,
And sang our sweets out loud!

My notebook whispered secrets,
And snorted out a rhyme,
It tapped a beat with pencil feet,
And sang a tune in time.

A zebra served me ice cream,
With stripes of every shade,
He wore a chef hat on his head,
And danced while cones were made!

I hiccupped in the classroom,
And launched my book up high!
It bounced and flipped and twirled around—
And landed on a pie.

The tulips in my garden,
Have stories they must share,
They whisper tales of buzzing bees,
And butterflies that care.

My grandpa flew a giant kite,
It soared above the moon,
It tugged and pulled so hard one day—
He followed it till June!

My PJs march around the house,
When I turn out the light,
They sing a tune, play peek-a-boo,
Then snuggle me just right.
