My Darling Baby

I love you little one more than mummy can say so why my baby child do you often make me pay? You're so pure and tiny yet so loud and smelly too all these years i never knew all the different colours of pooh I carried you for so long I helped you grow and birth I've bought you lovely things and you'll never know the worth I rise up at silly hour before the birds awake just to feed my angel so why scream for goodness sake? You may be a tiny baby yet your voice can be so loud you can't even speak yet but I hear your voice above the crowd Your pitch cuts through my soul your smell can be so rank the postman thought yesterday we'd a leaky septic tank When you're asleep You're so beautiful and calm I keep everybody quiet so you'll sleep and do no harm I love you my baby but please consider me I can't handle more screaming and all the copious amounts of wee I'll do whatever I have too to keep you warm and happy but please my darling baby don't again fill your nappy It feels like the 100th time you seem to think it's a game I've bought so many nappies there's only you to blame Please sleep my child sleep for as long as possible please don't make a noise or whimper mummy's down on her knees I need sleep too my child I want to use the loo and a long, hot bubble bath would just be ecstasy too Think of mummy darling I know it's hard for you but please my angel please let me go to the loo.
