“Bedtime”, says a tired 4 yr old Boy,
who stands in his PJ’s holding his bedtime toy.

“read me a book”, he asks his Mum,
Who shudders and says, “b.b.b. but your books aren’t fun”!!!

She’s tried the one with the caterpillar who eats, and the one with the witch and the house made of sweets.

Halfway thorugh a book
that’s she’s already read.
Mum’s head starts to nod
as she slips down the bed.

The 4yr old boy wails,
“would somebody pleeeeze.
Finish a book,
as I can’t yet read”.

Dad says he’s busy,
Big brother’s playing a game.
Every book, every night
it’s always the same.

Then one day Mum hears
from a certain someone,
about Saronti
Who claim their books are fun!!!

“Yeah sure, right”,
Mum says disbelieving
Miracles don’t happen
at least not in the evening.

She checks out the website
that says faces and names,
are put in the book,
“mmm, that would explain”.

She says as she sends the family photos in for a personalised book called ‘Our Seaside outing’.

The next bedtime
the books arrived
Big Brothers reading
What a surprise.

Dad joins in
and laughs at his face
as the donkey runs off
at a terrifying pace.

There’s Grandma and Mum chasing after
their donkey’s going faster and faster.

As the story progresses,
more people join in
to read of their own family
Seaside outing.

So now bedtime’s sorted
the 4yr old’s pleased,
as at bedtime now
everyone wants to read.
