Scroop ... Drool

Today's word is "scroop" ... scroop ... To emit a harsh grating sound.

Drool
When the babies went to bed,
They woke back up, and then they said ... 
      well ... wailed, and scrooped, 
         and made a scene. Until the grownups
     began to scream. For peace and quiet.
Then they sighed, and ceased to cry,
And the big ones went to bed,
     and stayed there with coverings on their
          heads. And when the morning light had come,
All did awake. Yes, every one.
