The Night the Palm Trees Walked

The Night the Palm Trees Walked

The night the palm trees walked

The woke me from bed.

Then they headed to my room,

And I thought that I was dead.

There root scootched 'cross the ground,

Man they were moving fast.

As they drew closer to me,

I prayed that they'd go past.

All that junk food that I ate

Before I went to bed,

Was jumping in my stomach,

Like ten monkeys on a bed.

I moaned and groaned and ran,

Well, at least I tried.

Palm tree arms reached out to grab me,

And real soon I was tied.

And as the trees decided,

To see how many rings I had,

I was suddenly awakened

By my momma and my dad.

I never will again,

Eat so much junk food before bed.

Apparently all that stuff

Really messes with my head.
