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!

Hearing Children Running And Screaming



 Hearing Children Running And Screaming

by Angela Lansbury


Small children love to jump and run

They won't stay still, running's more fun

They like to push, scream, splash and shout

They zig zag, bump, fall, leap about


They race and fall, parents don't care

Kids knock you down, they like to share

They do not speak if they can shriek

I'll die or go deaf by next week


Save sanity, observe these rules

Don't live beside an infants' school

Don't read beside a swimming pool

Save hearing, bruised limbs, with these tools.


Remember granny's old wise words

Kids look cute, seen, - not raced, nor heard!

I want to speak but hold my breath

I think their Mum and Dad are deaf.
