The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Bedtime Snacks

Listen to Attie ...
I ate a lullaby pie
I scoffed a pillow cake
I crunched a bowl of snoozes
I slurped a dream milkshake
I munched a midnight biscuit
I lapped up pink cloud cream
I drank a flask of starlight tea
I licked an iced moonbeam
I ate a picnic in pyjamas
I drank a smoothie full of snores
I swallowed a bunk bed sandwich
I can’t eat any more!
