What will the twins think of Harvey
The twins will soon be here,
And Harvey will have two more cousins,
That much is clear,
But what will they make of Harvey,
When he comes to welcome them at their new home.
Will they think he is big or small,
Will they think he is happy or sad.
Will they think it funny when he holds his nose and says stinky poos.
Will they giggle at the faces he pulls,
or when he pretends to be cross.
Will they like it when he sings to them so sweetly,
Will they like it when he whispers ever so quietly so as not to hurt their ears,
Will they like it when he tickles their tummy,
Will they like it when he gives them toys, he had as a baby,
Will they like it when he plays peek-a-boo with them,
Will they like it when Auntie lets him hold them in his lap,
Will they like it when he gives them his best smile,
Will they like it when he fetches things they need,
so, Auntie does not have to get up.
Will they like it when Harvey gets to hold their bottle when they drink.
Will they like it when he asks Auntie and Uncle about how to keep them safe.
Will they like it when he teaches them to catch a ball, when they are older.
Will they like to hear the stories he tells, to grandad.
They will, they will, they will,
Just like Harvey liked those, who did all those things for him when,
He was a baby,
And he did for his other cousins.
But will the twins like it when Harvey goes home,
Probably not.
Yet Harvey is only five and needs to sleep, and go to school,
Play with grandad.
And I am sure they will be happy to see him come back.
As they recognize his kind face,
And the sound of his sweet voice.
