Poem
terrible two
is a ninja turtle
she spins her 
little play broom 
like a fighting stick 
and charges 

grandpa shark
faints and dodges
she reels back
gives him a whack
and he cries like a villain
terrible two
triumphantly giggles

terrible two
won't eat anything
he makes
she demands
yummy bunny pasta 
for breakfast
to his surprise
grandpa shark actually 
finds them quite tasty

grandpa shark
sits in a lawn chair
under a swing set and pushes 
buzz light year's girlfriend 
for an hour
higher 
terrible two orders 
higher she screams
to infinity and beyond 

terrible two 
still in her ninja pajamas
must get dressed
to go to the park
no 
not your green velvet
Christmas dress

grandpa shark
sells her on
pink Minnie Mouse T
and blue denim shorts
(sometimes he wins)

snack packs
two bottles of water
and a fresh pull up 
(just in case)
in her chariot
she climbs
and they're off for 
a long stroll
through suburbia 
saying hi to every dog
it's walker
every bird
and every jogger

until she jumps out
and runs for the swings
(not more swings)
then the jungle gym ganglia 
of climby things
all leading to 
the gigantic tube slide
where he catches her
until she's tired

she chugs a water bottle 
dry
and polishes off
her stuffed pretzels 
on the softest grass
under the cool shade
of the biggest tree
they lie
her soft rosy cheek
pressed on his chest

I love you Grandpa
I love YOU
no, I love YOU
she points her 
tiny finger 
in his face
tickles and giggles
under that big old tree

grandpa shark
reflects in the dark
their time in the park
and feels lucky 
to have his terrible two
and sad as the 
man in the moon
to leave her

as the road passes
beneath him 
he remembers another 
terrible two clutching
his fingers from 
her car seat behind him
as they drove through 
the silent night
he smiles fondly at the
big lunar light
leading him home
that let's him know
wherever he goes 
his terrible twos
will always 
be with him
