These grown ups drive me crazy. Da-da. Their silly talk is all so hazy. Look at her, what does she gain? Da-da she repeats over and over again. I start to wail, I'm thirsty so I must. She cries goo-goo and in my mouth a trust, Ugh, something bitter then some milk Now that's at least tastes a bit like silk. She made me jump and puts me on her knee Do you wonder now that I had to pee? The pest came to visit, as usual full of glee He tickles my tummy and mimics wee-wee. Now if I were to pee on his ugly pink shirt, Wouldn't he realize that he's all rude and dirt? A tall man came in and cries goo-goo, goo-goo. Oh well I'm now likened to a little cuckoo.

This is one of your funniest poems Victor, what does go through a babies mind - i am sure that in a hundred years from now we will be buying a programme or download an app - 'read what your baby is thinking' Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Yes, another perspective on parents and adults in general. But babytalk is relaxing for us adults, LOL!

Ahh!! We grownups do go on and on with a baby don't we. They are a wonder to enjoy and the baby time is so short. I enjoyed reading your work. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

When you view the gorgeous picture, it sounds as if the infant is participating in the baby chat. It's absolutely delightful to speculate what infants are thinking about when they discover adult babies speak. The poetry is utterly fascinating, and this is the first time I've seen you compose such a lovely topic, Victor, so congratulations on that.

So adorable to imagine what babies are thinking of adult baby talk. In the cute picture, it seems as though the baby might be listening to baby talk. :)

This is so cute, yes , we grownups do tend to imitate the baby's sounds. Oh, but they are good to pee when their diapers off. ( straight shot )

When baby talks we listen---a joyful form of communication without real words. Creative, expressive poem, Victor.

Don't eat too much Turkish delight. We have a lot of it in Malta.
