Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush

I won’t let anybody get away with anything just because he is little.

I like dogs Big dogs Little dogs Fat dogs Doggy dogs Old dogs Puppy dogs I like dogs A dog that is barking over the hill A dog that is dreaming very still A dog that is running wherever he will I like dogs.

Goodnight nobody, goodnight mush

In the great green room, there was a telephone And a red balloon And a picture of a cat jumping over the moon.

When the groundhog casts his shadow And the small birds sing And the pussywillows happen And the sun shines warm And when the peepers peep Then it is Spring

There is a loving way with words and an unloving way. And it is only with the loving way that the simplicity of language becomes beautiful.
