The Red Menace

Michael Vine


Look at my boy; he's sleeping so well
Little you know; before it was hell!
He wouldn't stay down,
Though I begged and I pleaded.
I couldn't work out
What my little boy needed.

I gave him warm milk,
with a kiss and a cuddle.
He moved right on in,
For his nighty time snuggle.
But with a shake and a jump,
He was up and about.
Therw was nothing to do,
But let him wear out.

I've now learned my lesson;
That not before bed,
My sons not to have
Food coloured with red
