'Twas the Night Before Kindergarten
26 August 2012
Reblogged from Naptime Writing:
'Twas the night before kindergarten
and all through the place
not a creature was stirring
except the frenetic author of this space.
The children were tucked haphazardly in bed
because they fight going to sleep
like most resist the undead.
Preparations were made and concoctions couldn't lag
sweet potato waffles for breakfast
and tortellini for your lunch bag.
When in the kitchen there arose such a clatter…
For my friends Twenty Twenty, The Kitchen Witch, and all others who have little ones poised to make their mark on the world.
