In the messy green
family room
There was a telemarketer
ringing the telephone
and a crying toddler
because his brother just popped his red balloon
And a picture of-
The cow jumping over the moon
(which someone colored on with permanent marker)
And there was a missing
teddy bear, and a girl with gum in her hair
And one to be scolded
And laundry to be folded
And a very hungry Spouse
And something stinky in the house
(that no one else seemed to smell)
And a comb and a brush and a colicky
baby who just won’t shush
And a frazzled mommy screaming &^$#*^%
Goodnight messy room
Goodnight scribbled-on moon
Goodnight cow getting out while she can
Goodnight telemarketers and the
popped balloon
Goodnight long-gone teddy bear
Goodnight cereal bar smeared all
over the dining room chair
Goodnight spitup
And goodnight leaky sippy cup
Goodnight much-too-little house and
goodnight grumpy spouse
Goodnight comb and goodnight brush
And goodnight to a certain 4-year-old
she just needs to hush right now and i mean it
Goodnight Elmo
Goodnight toys we’ll pick up tomorrow,
or the next day
Hello Chardonnay and TiVo-
