MIDNIGHT SNACK

(Carrie Carter)

I was a hungry lion

When I woke up late one night

My tummy started growling

And so I flipped on the light.

The stairs all groaned beneath me

As I crept quiet as a mouse

My belly was rumbling thunder

As I wondered through my house.

I saw my brother’s cupcake

And it called to me by name

I knew I shouldn’t take a bite

But I tasted it all the same.

Sly as a fox I turned around

My brother asked me what I’ve done

I felt a frog stuck in my throat

And the cat had gotten my tongue.

Then I thought he’d blow his top

As I wiped frosting off my cheek

But he smiled sweet as pie and said

You’ll be doing my chores all week!
