GOODNIGHT HOUSE
(This is a poem by Rita Bourland using the template of Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown)
In a warm, brick house,
there is a fireplace
in a cozy room,
and a wooden dog
with a red balloon,
and there are three little boys
playing with toys,
and a pair of cats,
and a ball of yarn,
and a mom and dad
holding back a yawn,
goodnight house,
goodnight room,
goodnight dog with a red balloon,
goodnight toys, goodnight boys,
goodnight bicycles, goodnight popsicles,
goodnight crickets, goodnight fireflies,
goodnight, goodbye,
I’ve a tear in my eye,
goodnight, goodbye
our strong, sweet house,
remember our dreams
remember our love,
remember the balloon
and the wooden dog,
remember to turn out the lights
when we’re gone.
