Kids Think Its Funny When

Kids think its funny when...

Kids enjoy watching you when
You start sticking out your tongue
Make faces to make them laugh
Crazy dancing, acting young

Kids fall about laughing when
You tell them funny stories
About silly or rude stuff
Or gasp if its too gory

Kids think its so funny when
You talk about farts and poo
The many ways to describe
The way we go to the loo

Kids love to giggle lots when
You tickle them on the tum
Or you wheek them up on knee
And then bounce them on their bum

Kids watch you and grow more when
They are happy as can be
Loving every minute shared
Creating fond memories

Yes so sweet you are. I assume you are or have been a mom or a caregiver and have seen the great things humor and love do for children. Anyway, it's great to see the lovely and charming outlook you have on life and language. I hope to look at more of your work when I have a chance. I hope you will be here and make many more contributions.

Aww, thank you Duke. I am indeed a Mum and an auntie to many! I love children, they amaze me. I hope to make many more contributions to PS too, and will be sure to stop by more of your work too Duke! Warm regards, Laura.

I can tell you know how to make a child happy. It doesn't take any money. It just takes attention and a willingness to act a little silly. I am dealing with a four year old g.daughter and I have never laughed as much! I do all the things you mention in your poem and that grants me the title from her of Best Grandma in the World! Your poem shines Laura and I love it! 7 ; )

I agree with everything you say Laura and agree with Tim we influence out kids so much. Laughter in our lives is so important - save the serious stuff for when we finally grow up - think I have time to go ... i write lots of poo poetry lol:-) hugs Jan xx
