Janice Canerdy Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Baby Face, What's You Thinkin

The silly man wants me to smile.
Been making faces for a while.
My mom and dad are standing by
just grinning hoping I won’t cry. 

I’m ill. I’m tired. I missed my nap.
Just filled my diaper full of crap.
I’m hungry too. Smile? I will NOT!
Don’t care if pictures cost a lot.

Cooperate with y’all? No way!
My picture won’t be made today.
So—diaper change and bottle, please.
We’re going home. Get out your keys!
