Winding Down

Babbling talk of unknown words Striking precious objects with damaging knocks Deep cuddles to obtain wishes Swopped roles for flying trains and planes on tracks Familiar noises for new things Questions by noises that are not understood A gentle eye-rub with a curved thumb Slight complaint for restriction Jumps and stamps are created by a new energy ribbon Indecisive request for nibbles Not that one! A determined climb to the lap Dramatic sway of the head One feeble dry cough Giggle for a favourite character A “Deh?!” for the favourite story A “Deh?!” for milk A tired yawn Relaxing slump Gone to the world
