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
