Wake-Up, Wake-Up and Let's Play

Here is my newborn brother to celebrate the day! Together we'll splash around in mud spots eating tater tots. Wake-up, my brother, wake-up and let's play! There's no time for a baby snooze for the sun we shall lose! I'll have you hold the phone books while I get a cookie from the high nooks. Here is my newborn brother to to celebrate the day! Slip 'n' slides and kiddie pools, otter pops and pizza! You have no idea the magic things hidden beyond your eyelids! Wake-up, my brother, wake-up and let's play! You do like sleeping, don't you? This we'll have to fix. Maybe mom can whip you up a snack of caffeinated Chex-Mix. Here is my newborn brother to celebrate the day! We will certainly rule the planet together one day, you and I. As King Brothers: Your Highness Who Does Stuff and Your Highness Who Doesn't. Wake-up, my brother, wake-up and let's play! Yawwwckk, now I'm sleepy, move your teeny arm a smidgen. Maybe tomorrow when we're both awake we'll catch a pigeon. Here is my newborn brother to celebrate the day! Wake-up, my brother, wake-up and let's play! (Zzzzz...) 4/30/11 "Brotherly Love" Matt Caliri
