A Passion

Two A.M. mother nature's alarm clock goes off
Quickly to the nursery to see that diapers soft
Touch his little bottom that is  very clean
This little baby would never be treated mean

Five A.M. to the kitchen to prepare a breakfast feast
Hoping they will enjoy eggs, biscuits, and chopped beef
Six A.M. bath time  for the baby boy
He will enjoy playing with his rubber toy

Seven A.M. arrange fresh flowers
Give instructions to the maid, figure hours
She is paid, write her check and letters
While listening to the intercom for any tiny stirs

Time to play with baby and take him for a stroll
Back in time to freshen up for lunch  is baked sole
But little baby boy back into his bed
He will need a nap to rest his little head

The house needs some extra touches
For tonight we entertain guests the Cliches
Hope that our homes is a perfect place
Our rooms will enough space

The baby boy is now awake I need to play
With him for heavens sake
Go away cobbwebbs, Go away
For baby boys don't have time to wait

Love the rhythm, I feel the softness of youth in it. This could be a popular nursery rhyme.
