Joey

It's way past bedtime and Drew wants to watch "half a Chuggington." I tell him that if he recites the Shel Silverstein poem, "Joey" he can watch it.

Joey Joey took a stone
And knocked
Down
The
Sun!
And whoosh! it swizzled
Down so hard,
And bloomp! it bounced
In his backyard,
And glunk! it landed
On his toe!
And the world was dark,
And the corn wouldn't grow,
And the wind wouldn't blow,
And the cock wouldn't crow,
And it always was Night,
Night,
Night.

All because
Of a stone
And Joe.

Mission complete.
