Baby Brother Tells Me So

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!

This is very cute and belated congrats to you. I guess my soupmail did not have a subject heading and that stupid soupmail won't deliver my message without the title line. Check your mail again. And your FB messages too!

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.
