Baby
Baby
One year old. This could happen?
I could fall down the plug hole,
Or down the loo,
Or get sucked up by a balloon,
Get eaten by a monster,
Get licked to death by a dog,
Or even dragged along by Velcro’s,
Stuck to the pavement by chewing gum,
Trodden on by all the shoes,
Washed by a passing car,
Falling off a sky scraper
No Poppy’s not here to save me.
Gobbed on by some passer by.
I could even get squashed by a doughnut,
Float up in the sky inside a bubble,
Get hit on the head by a falling star,
Become pink from Candyfloss,
Have a race with a helicopter, when on my bike
Or even get squashed by a Telly Tubby,
Get jumped on by Eeyore
Said “Hallo” to, by a worm
Maybe I’ll get pregnant by an ant
Oh! Got my finger stuck up my nose
And if you’re good you’ll get to sit on some big giant’s knee
He goes “Ho ho ho” and pats his tummy.
I wonder how many children he had for tea.
