What can a baby do for you? Comic poem 121



What can a baby do for you?

It cannot talk, that much is true

It can wriggle, it can scream

And smile at some deep, hidden dream


Every new parent wonders why

A baby's first word's just a cry

One day, I hope it's not too late

A baby will communicate


A robot will say if it's happy

Hot or cold, please change my nappy

I'm tired, I am about to die

I'm cross - but have no idea why


I want to sleep

Please go away

I'd like a hug

But not today


I know you

I've seen you before

I like to throw things

On the floor


I like this milk

Now give me more

I do not like this lullaby

I love Mum but do not know why


I like Mum and I like Dad

I like Babygrows and mittens

I like milk and I like kittens

All in all, life isn't bad


I like lying on the floor

When I can walk I'll do much more

What is a spoon for, and a fork?

I can't wait to walk and talk!
