Shel Silverstein - Songs And Stories

Goodnight Little House Plant

Goodnight little houseplant asleep on the sill
I'll pull the shades so you don't catch a chill

And tomorrow in the morning don't be breaskfast for two
We'll have ham and eggs for me and nitrogen for you

Goodnight little houseplant tucked in your clay pot
Maske sure you don't catch Huntington's Rot

Remember little houseplant stay away from them bees
I've heard they may carry a social disease

Goodnight little houseplant goodnight
Here's your glass of water should I leave on the light

Tomorrow we'll talk of the things that we did
I love you little house plant who needs women and kids
