Bath Time

Bath time!
Bath time!
Give a yell
Bath time!
Bath time!
Aint it swell
Bath time!
Bath time!
We can tell
When it's bath time
'Cause you smell!

Stitches of Life

Thinking through stitches
Gets tricky
I mess up a lot
The seam ripper is
An extension of my fingers
Life
Is so much the same
Imperfection is
My middle name it seems
But I think
In the end
It won't matter so much
That the living room is messy
Probably
Everyone will just remember
How beautiful the dress turned out
How beautiful life turns out to be

The Last Place You Look

Little baby
Not asleep
Angry
And making more than a peep
Cranky, cranky
How it shows
Rocking?
Burping?
Eating?
No
Then we give it one more try
Turns out your diaper wasn't dry

A Reason Why

It's true
That any idiot can write haiku
But not every idiot does
Which
I suppose
Is what gives me the right
And privilege
To publish

Walk A Bye Baby

Daddy looks
A little insane
Pacing back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Rocking her to sleep
With his walking
Back and forth
Back and forth
Until she slumbers

Bunny Suit

Little pink
Cuddly cozy
Bunny baby
Sleeping in your suit
Snoozing in your snuggles
Looking at you
Makes me want to pick you up
And give you kisses
On your little bunny nose
But, alas
Tonight we will follow the old rule
And let sleeping bunnies lie

Wakey Wakey Rise and Shakey

Wakey wakey rise and shakey
Let the bacon start to bakey
Risin' in the early hours
Brushin' hair and takin' showers
Hurry hurry! Time to go!
It's time to start the day you know
