Dick Explains Kitty, March 18, 2018December 19, 2018 0 0 Read Time:1 Minute, 12 Second “Pa-pa I’ve tried to catch the Sleep Man, I’ve shut my eyes and breathed So hard I thought he’d come and peep— I was the one de-ceived. “Just when I thought he’d sure-ly come And I would hold him fast— Some how I can’t re-mem-ber what It was I thought of last. “But when I got a-wake a-gain, And fixed my eyes up-on The place where I ex-pect-ed him, Why, he’d been there and gone. “I’ve tucked my ba-by broth-er up, In my own lit-tle bed, And got be-hind a chair and watched The man sleep him in-stead. “But broth-er got his feet up, out, To kiss his little toes; He kept the Sleepy Man away, And that’s the way it goes.” The above is from the Easy to Read Story Book. This little poem kind of gave me a spooky feeling—the thought of a ‘Sleep Man’ is kind of an odd one. Of course, that’s what made it so alluring! What a way of thinking outside the box! How cute it is that it is a story told to daddy! I think this captures the imagination of a small child so perfectly. They see things so plain and simple. Does this poem make you think? Tell us in the comments! P.S.: I love when you can see the signatures of the illustrators.
