Untitled

by sandy poinstan

I climbed the door and opened the stairs

Said my pajamas and put on my prayers

Then turned off the bed and crawled into the light...

All because you kissed me goodnight.

Next morning I woke and scrambled my shoes

Polished my eggs and toasted the news

I couldn't tell my left from my right...

All because you kissed me goodnight.

That evening, at last, I felt normal again

So I picked up my mother and called the phone

I spoke to the puppy and threw dad a bone

Even at midnight the sun was still bright...

All because you kissed me goodnight.
