Lullaby Poem by Robert Edgar Burns

Get down on the floor Grandpa
And play cars with me o.k?
Then you can read me stories.
Can we do this every day?

I will run and hide on you,
Underneath my big boy bed.
I will take my bear with me
And some peanut butter bread.

Oops, I forgot my sippy cup.
I don’t want water; can I have juice?
My toy cars were in my pocket.
But they must have fallen loose!

Grandpa can we go outside,
And in my wagon pull me fast?
And afterwards I’ll run from you
If you’ll chase me in the grass.

I don’t want my diaper changed
If it means I must slow down.
O.K. O.K. put Elmo on,
And pull my pull-ups down.

Oh boy I love that vroom vroom,
And my car seat steering wheel.
Grandpa I stole your rocking chair!
Will you rock me to sleep, I feel -
Tired! Night Grandpa
