No! I won't go to bed!
I won't!
I can’t!
I'm not the one being naughty!
The rainbow is disobeying,
Breaking all the rules,
So mean,
So bad,
It’ll give me nightmares,
When the monsters
Will eat my eyes
Like gooey candy.
No! No! I can't go to bed
With the rainbow under my head
When it is upside down.
It's not a smile.
It's a frown
That'll fill up with
from the swamp,
And drown me
In the muck
Where I'll get stuck
And cry
Until I die,
Because no one will look
for me
in a yucky swamp
If the rainbow is upside-down.
Please mommy
Don't make me go to bed
And put my head
On the pillow
With the upside-down Rainbow.
The sky will cry
When it falls out
Into outer space
All because
The rainbows disobeyed
The rules
By turning around,
Lying on the ground
And letting the sky
float away.
I can't go to sleep
When mommies will weep
Because there will be
No more bees to buzz,
No more birds to fly,
When all the clouds
Have gone bye-bye.
Please don't make me go to bed.
I don't want to
wake up dead,
After I put my head
on an upside-down rainbow.
She did what she could.
I knew she would.
She stood her ground
Until a solution was found.
So, now I want to hug her,
Tell her she was right
To not go to bed
To put up a fight.
I want to hug her
and turn her rainbow pillow around
and tell her, "You're safe now
There are no night terrors to be found.
None could eat your eyes
Like oowee, gooey candy.
And that’s just dandy!
Do you know why?
It’s because you helped the rainbow
To stand up straight
And I think that’s just great!
Now that the rainbow has her feet on the ground.
No bears, or lions,
nor sharp teeth monsters will be found
Anywhere near your rainbow
Whose feet are standing on the ground.
So, now you can go to sleep
And dream of unicorns playing with sheep
Or you can dream you are all aglow
As you go flying over a protective rainbow.
