Lullabi Sailing Ship
Today’s has been registered, tomorrow has its exhibitions
life has made itself open for newness to beat limitations
such energetic body uses up the whole day to walk about
it’s now time to sleep, day has flown out
it’s past eight, the night should be a calm river
the mind is alert, a need to massage the liver
feeding on the joy of an apologue
brief but sharp laughters showing the tongue
a storied animal villain, evil its crush
at the end, the black horse loses its tush
no twists to these stories which astonish
to the young mind, they lighten, clear and refurbish
night tales to keep this soul in slake
and gradually cajoles, not to be awake
sleep oh child, your consciousness should derail
before this current tale ends, in your dreamland you sail
in some hours time, sunshine will lose its frenulum
landing from its travel to grease the pendulum
eyes are deem on a smiling face like a drunk epicurean
sleeps through mummy’s words like an affluent baby European.
