For Rosalie Grace Heacock Thompson

There is a house,

a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

And in that house
there is a bed,
a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

And in that bed
there is a granny,
a sleepless granny
in a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

And with that granny
there is a child,
a fidgety child
with a sleepless granny
in a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

And with that child
there is a dog,
a playful dog
with a fidgety child
with a sleepless granny
in a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

And with that dog
there is a cat,
a prowling cat
with a playful dog
with a fidgety child
with a sleepless granny
in a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

And with that cat
there is a mouse,
a worried mouse
with a prowling cat
with a playful dog
with a fidgety child
with a sleepless granny
in a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

Until . . .

a chirping cricket
sings his song
to the worried mouse
and the prowling cat
and the playful dog
and the fidgety child
and the sleepless granny
in a wide-awake bed
in a full-moon house,
where everyone is restless.

A full-moon song
that soothes the mouse,

who calms the cat,

who gentles the dog,

who snuggles the boy,

who hugs the granny,

in the dreamy bed,

in the full-moon house,
where no one now is restless.
