Children’s Classic Retold as…Goodnight Bush

I don’t suppose we’ll see this parody of Margaret Wise Brown’s children’s literary classic, Goodnight Moon in the stacks at the Rappahannock Regional Library, any time soon…

…so, here’s a taste:

In the situation room
There was a toy world
And a flight costume
And a picture of –

A refinery plume

And there were war profiteers
giving three cheers

A nation great
A church and state

A pair of towers
And a balance of powers

A Grand Old Party to war in a rush

And Dick Cheney whispering “hush”

Goodnight Bush…

Listen to NPR’s All Things Considered reporter Melissa Block’s story on the parody here. And check out the book’s LOL website.
