You Are Shakespeare To A Baby

You may not write like Shakespeare
Nor have Picasso's eye
But your baby likes a nursery rhyme
And your soothing lullaby

You might not write like Shakespeare
That does not mean you're a fool
You can entertain a toddler
With a rhyming wash hands rule

I might not paint like Picasso
I draw a line with my mouse
I do not need lions nor sculptures
Just someone to paint my house.

Dears, the moral is quite simple
Shakespeare is fun for holidays
But bus drivers, toilet cleaners
Are what we need every day.
