Not the Original

 

Wynken, Blyken and Nod it was

a child’s nighttime rhyme 

Of a sailing old shoe

with more kids than two

and snoring some of the time

 

Who would have thought

the adventure was brought

A child’s nighttime wish -

was no cutesy book

but a worm on a hook

in hopes of snagging a fish

 

In a Grimm fairytale

they pulled up a whale

who gobbled all three in one bite

The Mother cried, Boo

tossed out the shoe

then clicked off that pesky night light.
