Babyface What 'Cha Think'N 2

I thought I had mama all to myself, but when we got home
from the cuddly place where we had spent my first several hours,
there were all kinds of weirdos grabbing at me.
One of them is wearing the worst smelly perfume and it makes me mad
Putting me in a foul mood. 
Why would anyone dunk themselves in a bottle of cologne
Before they grab up a baby?
She is rubbing me against her stinky body.
MOMMY! 
I am getting ready to howl
my most angry howl.
MAWWWWWMMMMMY!
Wha! Wha! What!
What is wrong with this woman?
Why is she holding on?
There is one other strategy I can use.
I scrunch up my face muscles as hard as I can.
Aha! Now my smell rivals hers.
Yes, I am going back to Mommy, but 
I will give her one lingering glare.
I am furious with this Grandma person…

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 6/4/2019 3:50:00 AM Congratulations on your trophy win with this cute humorous poem Caren. : ) xxoo Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/4/2019 9:41:00 AM I always cringe when a woman who has bathed in a vat of perfume grabs a newborn, with a bunch of pointy rings to boot. Some of us are allergic to perfume, and it is so easy to scratch a newborn with your jewelry!

I truly despise perfume as it triggers my asthma as quickly as cat-fur and cold air.
