Lin Lane Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

My grandson, Brennan 

 

I'M Not a Baby, I'M Three

Good morning Mommy and Dad
Today I will try not to be bad

I don't know what I want to eat
No! Not that cereal. It's not sweet

Mommy, I don't wanna sit on the baby pot
How come you don't have what Dad I and got

I need a lot more track to play with my train
Mommy, why can't I go out and play in the rain

Why does the cat always run away from me
I didn't mean to pull out her hair, not really.

I need to fix my bike with Daddy's tool
Addy is my favorite girlfriend at school

I don't know why I got into trouble
I just poured out my bottle of bubbles

I'm NOT a baby. I'm big 'cause I'm three
I gotta go to the potty and make pee pee

No. It's not my bath time yet. 
I don't know when it is. I forget

But Daddy, I don't want to go to sleep
I can only count as high as ten sheep

I want the pajamas with Lightning McQueen
He's the fastest race car I ever seen

Daddy, read me a story then leave on the light
I love you, Mommy and Daddy.  Good night

Daniel Turner June 25, 2017 at 8:33 AM Such a handsome young man, Peaches. I remember sitting and reading to my kids when they were that age. They would sit there wide eyed with their imagination turned on. Great time:) Leaves this reader smiling:) Lin Lane June 25, 2017 at 11:33 AM Those are memorable moments, Danny. Brennan is at the age where he likes to tell stories from his fertile imagination, and quite tall ones they are! He thinks he's Super Brennan, so I made a cape for him on my last visit. Thanks for enjoying this one.
