Goodnight Dorm Room
Funny twist on the children’s book, “Goodnight Moon”.
In the room where the laundry’s never done,
And the mini fridge hums a tired song—
Goodnight, ramen cups,
Goodnight, cold pizza slice.
Goodnight, roommate’s snore,
And her boyfriend, I choose to ignore.
Goodnight, posters peeling,
Goodnight, tangled cords.
Goodnight, study notes
And late-night papers, I rewrote.
Goodnight, laundry pile
That’s grown too tall.
Goodnight, mystery stains
On the dorm room wall.
Goodnight, broken heater,
Goodnight, drafty door.
Goodnight, scary roaches—
I’m never sure what’s more.
Goodnight, noisy hallway,
Goodnight, party tunes.
Goodnight, shared bathroom
And forgotten loffahs too.
Goodnight, dorm life—
The chaos and charm.
Goodnight, small world—
With a big dorm-room heart.

I love this! You capture it all well!
This with some graphic novel style illustrations could be a kids book for adults! Well done!

Reminds me of the dorm rooms I’ve bid goodbye. Well done!
