SAY GOODNIGHT, HUGH MOUSE



I wrote this when my kids were young.



Sorry folks, too tired to write.
I think I’ll just turn in tonight.

I’ve had a week – as mothers do –
Of ear infections, fevers too.

A mall trip in the afternoon;
The squabbling started way too soon.

We ordered hot dogs after that,
They never came, and there we sat!

My tired feet got a rest – and then
A zoo trip made them hurt again. 

Riding home was really great
Except for whistles and rubber snakes.

Then chores at home made me uptight.
I’m beat.  Hugh Mouse, just say goodnight!
