NaNoFiMo Day Eight: another placeholder, "Good Night Irene"

[elisem]

I'm working on a few ideas, but nothing's soup yet, so you get another placeholder until they're done. This one was made up by me and TNH on the last day of last year. I disremember who wrote what, at this point, but there was much giggling in the kitchen while we were coming up with it all.

I built Irene a time machine
She'll steal it yesterday
And now I'm at a loss for words
She knows just what I'll say

Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Irene and I don't quarrel now
The thought would be absurd
A lady with a time machine
Will get the final word

Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

Irene checked out a thousand books
Which seems like quite a few
But if you have a time machine
They're never overdue

Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

She's into graphic novels now
She's read a mighty heap
But now she's starting Sandman
and I'm scared to go to sleep

Irene, good night
Irene, good night
Good night, Irene, good night, Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
