Notes About The Poem

Let Me Tell You Exactly What I'M Thinkin

Look at this face
I am so angry
gonna throw my dummy out my pram!

You point that thing in my face
its bright lights flash in my eyes
‘watch the birdie’
but I’m not daft ...
we don’t have a bird

‘ Coochie cooh, say cheese’
arghhhhhhh give me a break
I just want mum’s boobie

You want me to smile
but I’ve just woken up
and I’ve got a crappy nappy

Dad, you look so stoooopid
pulling silly faces
doing a ‘dad dance’
can’t you see you ploys won’t work
Dad you’re just a silly jerk

Connie Marcum Wong July 3, 2019 at 8:01 PM You did well with that contest Jan. I just couldn't think of anything to write. Congratulations on your first placement! xxoo : ) Jan Allison July 4, 2019 at 3:53 AM I never solved the mystery of why the original sponsor changed his mind and removed my poem from the winners list!:-( hugs Jan xx

Caren Krutsinger June 9, 2019 at 3:16 AM I always feel I am in touch with my child self, but Jan, you are in touch with your baby-self! Do you have any idea how marvelous that is? This blew me out of the water. Jan Allison June 9, 2019 at 3:50 AM It 'was' on the winners list (hence Connie's comment) so I am truly disappointed it was 'removed' and an amended list posted soi won't be bothering again, its not the first time this has happened!:-( hugs jan xx

Rico Leffanta May 31, 2019 at 1:36 PM As a first-time father, I looked into my son's eyes and saw his frustration at not being able to speak the language, so you have done a nice job of translating! Aloha! Rico Jan Allison June 1, 2019 at 5:11 AM yes their behaviour is so often down to frustration, I guess after a while we get to understand what they really want!:-) hugs Jan xx
