Lessons From Kids

Lessons can be learned from kids
Let's just state a few, come on!
Toddlers can sure flush quick
When your keys are in the John!

Make sure to take it slow
Holding baby in the air
You won't laugh like your other
At what's in your mouth and hair!

Be sure to check your oven,
Before turning on, is dire
Oh no, is that my glasses,
In the oven there on fire?

A new lesson every day
Easy taken with some style
When softened by the magic,
Of that child's angelic smile!

I had two boys so that second stanza brought back some yellowish memories. That third stanza reminded me of one time I came home my oldest son said "The turkey is taking a nap and Reagan's in the oven"...OMG! Luckily is was just a snafu of speech on his part! Love your poems... I always get a grin.
