There once was a three-day-old child
Whose temperament was sweet and mild
But she wanted to feed
All night long — yes indeed! —
And now we are OMG tired...
* * *
Thanks, all, for your congratulation!
We're filled to the brim with elation!
If only this girl —
Our sweet little pearl —
Would soundly sleep post-lactation.
* * *
My wife is a champ, there's no hiding
How lucky I was, in her finding.
For she stayed with our daughter
Alone — what a a martyr —
While hubby-o went paragliding!
* * *
First to eat, then to sleep, Skyla wanted
And with little squeaks had our nerves taunted
But we managed OK
On our third at-home day
We're new parents, but we are undaunted!
* * *
A walk to the Falls at Snoqualmie
Together with daddy and mommy.
I'm down for that —
In my sleep sack and hat —
As long as there's food in my tummy.
* * *
They tried to instill in me fear, "Oh!
As parents your sleep will be zero".
But thus far, for now,
We have managed somehow.
And also, my wife is a hero!
I couldn't have guessed it — who coulda?
I didn't predict it, but shoulda:
From feasting all day
On a breast milk buffet,
Our girl looks like a baby Buddha!
Little girl crying up a small ocean
"Let her suckle" was clever dad's notion
But his hands occupied —
So his big nose he tried —
And she latched onto it with devotion!
* * *
On what you'll become my thoughts linger:
A teacher? A chemist? A singer?
I'm sure you'll do well,
I can already tell,
By how firmly you suckle my finger!
* * *
There once was an excellent mommy
Whose milk filled our little girl's tummy.
A young infant's life
Involves diaper-change strife;
But suckle — and life ain't too crummy!
* * *
More limericks to come...
