Notes About The Poem

To a Baby

Baby face, 
what's you thinkin'...
You beautiful doll?
You're wearing 
quite a scowl 
on your face
You really don't like 
strangers, do you?
Why are you 
making that face?
Are you hungry?
Are you wondering 
why the heck...
I'm standing before you 
and not mommy?
Don't you worry, 
I'm a family friend
Not cat burglar
I'll go get your mommy
Just so you lose 
that worrisome look
Now give me a smile
Come on, sweet pea
Give me a smile now
Please?
Pretty please?
