Notes About The Poem

Thoughts of a Three Year Old

I have a noisy baby sister she came from mummy’s tummy I wish they’d put her back in there or fit her with a dummy! I have to share my toys with her; she grabs them when I play I’d much prefer I had a puppy; I’d walk him outside every day! Daddy takes me to the park; sometimes my little legs get tired If I had wheels instead of feet I’m sure they’d be admired! Mummy I know you’ve told me that it’s rude to stare But why is that man’s head poking through his hair? I’m told that I must eat my greens so I grow big and tall Oh yeuk… cauliflower and carrots I really hate them all My daddy once got cross when I knocked over his beer He said a silly word, that he didn’t think I’d hear! If I find a massive green bogie when I pick my nose Why does mummy get so cross when I wipe it on her clothes? When I wee in the toilet I aim to hit a smiley ping-pong ball I hope mummy removes it when Grandma comes to call! I sit on the bathroom toilet and I do a massive pooh I love to hear a big splash when I’m sitting on the loo! Sometime I fart in the bath, its fun to make the water bubble AND my Daddy farts all the time so I don’t get into trouble! When I lay in bed at night my mummy reads to me I wish I could read the book myself, but I’m only three! It really isn’t fair, why do I have to be in bed by eight When all grown-ups watch TV and they can stay up late! Three Year Olds Thoughts Sponsored by Brenda Chiri 06-26-17

Lots of GREAT three year old lines. REminds me of "Kids Say the Darndest Things" show. My poem is all on one theme. I like how you just hit many funny things with yours!

I couldn't think how to tackle it as one continuous theme so I just went with a few funny lines I've either heard or made up, of course I had to mention poop lol:-) hugs Jan xx
