Baby Rap

You are my little one Roasting me like an oven A freshly baking bun Making me a mother hen I lay you as my egg, hatch Make you go ‘peep, peep’ Your papa is my love match Raisin’ you ain’t cheap Baa baa black sheep Now it’s time to sing you to sleep I’m gonna sing you a nursery rhyme Cause it is your bed time Gives you kisses sweeter than sweet lime Sing to you til my voice cracks We a family, we run in a pack You are the center, we will protect Anyone disturbs you, they get decked We raise you in a way that is correct Up to the utmost respect Like a little lady (or gentleman) You as a baby, on the Gerber plan We got a dream house with a floor plan You are part of our master plan, Protecting you with everything we can Everything we have, its yours Even when you still crawlin’ on all fours Your daddy’s reason for the Army corps You a little soldier, boy or girl, You gonna one day see the world But for now your daddy’s little girl For now your mama’s little pearl But for now you is a mama’s boy Straighten up like a soldier, toy, Creating mischief, you’re very coy Like a fox you be runnin’ sly Around strangers, you be hidin’, shy Until at night when the moon is high And to the world you wave bye-bye As I sing you tonight’s last lullaby…

This is great, Savannah, positively bounces along. Had to look up the Gerber plan, but it's nice to learn something new every day. Nice write. Nice kid. Welcome to Poetry Soup, and have fun. Viv x
