One last try as the deadline approaches:


LULLABY

Rock a bye baby, snug in your diaper,
six months old, already a Skyper.

Rock a bye baby, nothing is cuter
than seeing your face on my computer.

I've left the volume set on high,
so hear my distant lullaby.

If anyone should hurt or vex you,
I will Skype, email or text you.

And if the world should dare offend you,
I'll be there online to friend you.

Rock a bye baby, darling young drowser,
close your sweet eyelids, but don't close your browser.
