Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Out of the Blue

Our baby coos after a restful sleep,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,

With his eyes wide open, he sneaks a peek,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,

Only cute chuckles he renders for he cannot speak,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,

Tried to have him say, "mama", all through the week,
Ah-boo, ah-boo, ah-boo, sounds I would repeat,

Suddenly, he says "mama", I dropped down to my feet
From ah-boo now I say mama, sounds that I repeat.

Yes, monotonous as I've slowly squeezed the lemon thoroughly, forming the pucker in the end, hm maybe I should write, but not until I say 'Thanks Andrea!", Aloha wk PS: btw, picture of my great grandson whose grandpa is sitting on my lap of my profile picture
