Shel Silverstein
Goodnight Little House Plant

Speaking of loneliness
And when you're speaking
Of Saturday Night
You're speaking of loneliness
I guess the main thing, the bottom line
Is to have somebody
Or something to say goodnight to

Goodnight little house plant
Asleep on the sill
I'll shut the shades so
You don't catch a chill
And tomorrow in the morning
For breakfast we two
We'll have ham and eggs for me
And Nitrogen for you

Goodnight little house plant
Tucked in your clay pot
Make sure that you don't catch
The Huntingtons Rot
Be careful little house plant
Stay away from them bees
You know they may carry
A social disease
Goodnight little house plant
Little house plant goodnight
Here's your glass of water
Should I leave on the light
Tomorrow we'll talk of
The things that we did
Goodnight little house plant
I love you little house plant
Who needs women and kids
