"I'll be back" My daughter left me in command At least that was my understand. But naught with grandchild works that way At least not on that feeding day. I tried to feed her croon and spoon Well to beginnings afternoon. But she would not be satisfied Until she spurred me into Hyde. She had a strangeness all her own Of tears and spits with gurgle tone. If she did not agree with me Then I would hear a gie banshee. Time after time she'd turn her head When food was offered to be fed. Or she would push my hand away Sadistically in childish play. This would go on and on and on Till my patience completely gone And I would pray I hear that clack The promise of the "I'll be back." Don't get me wrong my loves forever Feed her again, not likely, ever. |

Sy, I enjoyed this one. My opinion of feeding a child is... it's a bit like making jam in a pressure cooker. Be well Kethry Growth demands a temporary surrender of security. Gail Sheehy |

Grandpas are allowed to just feed sweet deserts, and watch them be slurped up... Moms and Dads are in charge of meats and veggies... and while we're at it...give this little one an ice cube to play with... and a turkey's feather with some honey on her fingers... offers a whole new gist of reportable poetry, don't you think? {~,^} have fun Sy...they are treasured treasures... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?...KRJ |
