Baby brother, your naughty smile entices A chuckle ringing through the night, While those eyes blue wink like stars That I'm pretty sure , we are alike... If Aunt Nora pinches those rosy cheeks Yes, I'd whack her leg, she'll never know- For now, you're saying, let's peek-a- boo As moon face jiggles up and down, Till Mama yelps, 'No, our babe might toot gas!' And peachy feet, they would outgrow mine, Then we’ll ride on airy coastlines Sharing guy secrets and watching the girls-- Maybe, hug one or two in Dad's bike That's what your laughter implies... O you giggle, mouth without teeth yet; Not to worry, I am sneaking yummy jello... Eat that quick! It's all over your bald head We'll make it look like soap bubbles-- As the hero, I'll tell our parents, the milk Flushed through the crib...You agree, snickering, Naughty brother, we have more pranks to go!

Oh I love the lines 'peachy feet, they would outgrow mine' and 'I am sneaking yummy jello' - also like how you tell this from an older brother's point of view, original!

Mischief runs in the family, hah. You detected that naughty baby smile when all I saw was pureness. Incredible poem going on another route not always taken.
