H is for Hush Little Baby

break from bugs, largely because I couldn't find a poem with bugs in it for this letter :/

SO here is a preliminary sketch for a future painting.  it's not that original, but it's cute.


clearly in process.

and my poem for today.

Mama's Gonna Buy You a Mockingbird
Lullaby

Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.

If that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy-goat.

If that billy-goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turns over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart falls down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
