Contraction/Expansion

 

Contraction

Night has fallen
And tripped me up.
I fell in bed
Without my sup.
I dream of horse
Called Buttercup;
And morn will come,
I trust … gid’yup!

Expansion

Birds stopped callin’.
Night has fallen
And tripped me up.
I fell in bed
With sleepy head
Without my sup.
It’s sans remorse
I dream of horse
Called Buttercup;
And morn will come—
Sardoodledum!—
I trust … gid’yup!
