It was a hot summer night, middle of June.
My toddler was watching a silly cartoon.
He wore a large necktie, his pants were maroon.
He copied the dog howling at the full moon.
All of a sudden there appeared a baboon.
It startled my son, but he fed him a prune.
He wore polka-dot shorts and danced to a tune.
My son saw him ride in a hot air balloon.
The next day, the middle of the afternoon
My toddler saw a chipmunk and a raccoon.
He fed them carrots, potatoes with a spoon.
Then he saw them carried off by a typhoon.
He told me he dreamed he was Daniel Boone,
And he was playing billiards in a saloon.
In his dream he killed a fish with a harpoon
Who was living in a blue shallow lagoon.
