If he could, it would probably look something like this:

I Think I'll Try to Eat This
A dry noodle from dinner the night before
Lies tantalizing upon the floor,
Good thing no one cleans this place anymore—
I think I'll try to eat this.
A piece of dirt from your boot was flung,
It crumbles deliciously on the tongue,
There's more to taste and the night is young—
I think I'll try to eat this.
So much to explore and only one mouth:
A dusty raisin beneath the couch,
Wadded-up tissues from the trash,
Mom's bathroom cabinet tampon stash,
A ladybug creeping along the wall,
Random hair tangled up in a ball—
I think I'll try to eat this.
Yes, I think I'll try to eat this.
Gassy (a haiku)
Writhe in agony
Rattle windows with my screams
Fine now — just a fart.
A Breastfeeding Limerick
Nursing in public is fun,
Especially since I'm almost one.
I'll pull down the blanket,
Bite your nipple and yank it:
How else will you know when I'm done?
See what I mean? What do you think your baby would say?
Leave your answer in the comments below and when you're done, check out more hilarious poetry by babies!
Yup, that would be it. So funny!
ReplyDeleteHa! This is awesome and brilliant! I love it... and that photo... awwwww!
ReplyDelete'Gassy' is genius!
Thanks for sharing.

I loved this so much!

Wishing you a lovely day.

These are so great!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! The limerick made me laugh out loud... Yup, this is exactly what they're thinking :) #ShareWithMe
ReplyDeleteSo clever, love all three!! If only the nipple biting wasn't true #SWM
ReplyDeleteTee hee! Mine are always picking up dusty raisins off the fool! Hilarious! x
ReplyDeleteHa ha this is brilliant! Made me laugh xx
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!! Very funny and clever!! Xx
ReplyDeleteHa this was really funny to read. Especially the eating poem, sounds a lot like my little boy. Won't eat anything I give him but if it's been on the floor for a day it's fair game. #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteLol these are brilliant. I especially like "I think I'll try to eat this" - such a brilliant way of capturing all those random things that little ones pick up off the floor and try to eat :-)
ReplyDeleteI love this. There's nothing like a little humor in our lives as mothers. All of this made me laugh out loud because I can relate to them all (especially with the eating poem at the top). Thank you for putting a smile on my face today :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny and my girls are a bit older, but still remember this age well and you capture dit perfectly with your poetry!! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! Haven't laughed so hard in a while!

Is that your baby? Absolutely adorable. It's a miracle they all grow up fine with everything that goes into their mouths.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say I can't take credit for the beautiful baby. She's a model.
DeleteWondering how my 5 children have survived with all they tried to eat as babies is actually what prompted this post.
Haha, you are a riot! These are fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteMommy looks funny when she is stress
ReplyDeleteMostly when I get undress
Much more fun in public
Where she goes ballistic
This comes to mind =P

Up to this point I haven't had a child who liked to strip in public, but if parenting has taught me anything it's that I should never say never.
DeleteI love this.
Ha! Brilliant Jenny. Only last week my two year old discovered an old raisin on the floor in the swimming pool changing rooms and ate it before I could get to it! Babies are gross :-) X
ReplyDeleteWow. Eating off the ground, in a public place, where there's a thin pool of stagnant water on the floor. Sounds like a good idea? You must be a baby.
DeleteHow can this be so disgusting yet I find it so genuinely hilarious/endearing at the same time?
So funny. Captures baby's thoughts perfectly. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! "I think I'll try to eat this" is my favorite! I just caught the 10 month old baby that I watch chewing on the bristles of my broom. Gross! Please collect your poems into a book. What a great baby shower gift that would be! (And if you've already done that...where can I get it?)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant. I can hardly type because I am still giggling!
ReplyDeletesaw this on Wonderful Wednesdays.
The Mothers say - Oh these are so funny and so very true. We loved the "I'll think I'll eat this...." and we won't mention the time that Lucas ate a spider............. #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteBeen chuckling into my morning cuppa reading these. Actually didn't want the post to end. These were so funny and wonderfully written x #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteI must admit. 'Gassy' was my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolute genius I love poetry and used to write a lot of it on my blog but these are so great! I love them. Thank you ever so much for linking up to Share With Me. #sharewithme
ReplyDeleteHehe, this were hilarious! I have a 14-month-old so I could highly relate to them. Stopping by from SITS!
ReplyDeleteFunny, yet amazingly wonderful and spot on! I have much difficulty looking through this perspective sometimes, though on occasion Hun and I will come up with some narrated version of what we think Baby Boy is thinking or saying to/about us lol. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha funny! #IBABLOGGERS
ReplyDeleteI love this!!!! Haha so funny! Thanks for sharing. #ibabloggers
ReplyDeleteOh these are awesome! I love the first one, so beautifully written and painfully true hehe
ReplyDeleteI Love these! They are all so accurate!
