No - I did not take a nap - The nap - took - me off the bed and out the window far beyond the sea, to a land where sleepy heads read only comic books and lock their naps in iron safes so that they can't get took.
 * = The Nap Taker =

And soon as I came to that land, I also came to grief. The people pointed at me, shouting, " Where's the nap, you thief?" They took me to the courthouse. The judge put on his cap. He said, "My child, you are on trial for taking someone's nap.

"Yes, all you selfish children, you think just of yourselves and don't care if the nap you take belongs to someone else. It happens that the nap you took without a thought or care belongs to Bonnie Bowlingbrook, who's sittin' cryin' there.

"She hasn't slept in quite some time - just see her eyelids flap. She's tired drowsy - cranky too, 'cause guess who took her nap?" The jury cried, "You're guilty, yes, you're guilty as can be. But just return the nap you took And we might set you free."

"I did not take that nap," I cried, "I give my solemn vow, and if I took it by mistake I do not have it now." "Oh fiddle-fudge," cried out the judge, your record looks quite sour. Last night I see you stole a kiss, Last week you took a shower,

"You beat your eggs, you've whipped your cream, at work you punched the clock, You've even killed an hour or two, we've heard you darn your socks. We know you shot a basketball, you've stolen second base, and we can see you're guilty from the sleep that's on your face.

"Go lie down on your blanket now and cry your guilty tears. I sentence you to one long nap for ninety million years. And when the other children see this nap that never ends, no child will ever dare to take somebody's nap again."  || Rhyme -similar sounding words or phrases Personification - giving something human elements Hyperbole - An exaggeration || =All That You Are: Goo Goo Dolls = And I feel All the faint morning light Filled with hope Cause you're here in my life And we've gone From the edge of our souls Made it back to a place we call home You... See me through I was alone in the dark and the fear was my truth

Yeah all the things that you are Beautifully broken, Alive in my heart And know That you are everything Let your heart sing and tonight We'll light up the stars

All that you are

I feel wrong I'm so human and flawed I'll break down even though I'm still strong And time... will make fools of us all Build us up and then laughs when we fall You... pull me through When I'm alone in the dark and the fear is my truth

Yeah all the things that you are Beautifully broken, Alive in my heart And know That you are everything Let your heart sing and tonight We'll light up the stars

All that you are

Your the sound of redemption The faith that I've lost the answers I'm seeking no matter the cost You opened the window now I can see And you taught me forgiveness By giving your love back to me

Yeah all the things that you are Beautifully broken, Alive in my heart And know That you are everything Let your heart sing and tonight

Yeah all the things that you are Beautifully broken, Alive in my heart And know That you are everything Let your heart sing and tonight

Let your heart sing and tonight We'll light up the stars All that you are

Oh, I feel... all the faint morning light Filled with hope cause you're here in my life. ||
