bedtime stories

Myths of the world largely unknown
To the masses will ne’er be shown
Some are forgot till the night dawns
Bedtime stories told through dad’s yawns
Haunt memories in remembered dreams
Stories that were more than they seem
Wisdom of ages told in a tale
As three little sailors set sail
Winken goes first into the night
Followed by Blinken with nary a fight
Finally Nod lays down his head
Legends of old tuck them in bed.
