This is an idea I had this morning when thoughts of Dragon Ball Z came to mind as Christopher Robin, by Melanie was stuck in my head. I tried to base the Goten version on the original, keepis some links in all verses safe one. The original is given below.
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Ball/Z/Gt and I don't own the poem by Vespers/Christopher Robin is Saying his Prayers, by A.A. Milne or the song Christopher Robin by Melanie, they just mixed in some way in my mind.
Technically this is an AU as Goku is dead and Goten already knows who Shin is. It's mostly meant to be funny and a bit sweet so don't let bother you too much.
My version:
Little Son Goten Is Saying His Prayers
Super-Saiyan kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Whisper who dares!
Little Son Goten is saying his prayers.
.
Shin bless Mummy. I want to say.
Even if the frying pan hurt today.
She raised it high and she hit my head.
Oh! Shin bless Daddy - Even though he's dead.
.
If I open my eyes just a little bit more,
I can see Gohan's training Gi on the door.
It's orange and blue, and mine's as well.
Dende bless Gohan and Videl.
.
Mom says Gohan should marry Videl.
I don't think I understand too well.
I have a brother but want a sister too.
So Kami please, make her say I do.
.
Oh! Thank you, Shin, for a lovely day.
And what was the other I had to say?
I said "Bless Daddy," so what can it be?
Oh! Now I remember. Shin bless Me.
.
Super-Saiyan kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Whisper who dares!
Little Son Goten is saying his prayers.

Christopher Robin Is Saying His Prayers
Also known as
Vespers
Sung By Melanie
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Whisper who dares!
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
.
God bless Mummy. I know that's right.
Wasn't it fun in the bath tonight?
The cold's so cold, and the hot's so hot.
Oh! God bless Daddy - I quite forgot.
.
If I open my eyes just a little bit more,
I can see Nanny's blue dressing-gown on the door.
It's a beautiful blue, but it hasn't got a hood.
Oh! God bless Nanny and make her good.
.
Mine has a hood, and I lie in bed,
And I pull the hood right over my head,
And I shut my eyes, and I curl up small,
And nobody knows that I'm there at all.
.
Oh! Thank you, God, for a lovely day.
And what was the other I had to say?
I said "Bless Daddy," so what can it be?
Oh! Now I remember. God bless Me.
.
Little Boy kneels at the foot of the bed,
Droops on the little hands little gold head.
Hush! Whisper who dares!
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers.
I may in future try do do something more with this, maybe make verses about some other people like Trunks, maybe even Vegeta, but I don't know yet. Maybe if you all review and ask me nicely... But in the end it still depends on inspiration and poetry is harder to do than normal fiction, at least it is for me.
Anyway there you have it, just one of those ideas that pops into one's head one a normal Thursday morning. Hope you enjoyed it.
