PEEK-A-BOO ! (For my grandson.)

PEEK-A-BOO!

                                                          I am quite new

                                                          All I do is eat, sleep and pooh.

                                                          Sometimes I cry,

                                                          I don't know why.

                                                          I came into the world quite dumb,

                                                          but soon I learned to know my Mum.

                                                          My life is really pretty snug,

                                                          'Cause I'm wrapped up in a rug.

                                                          I don't know that there's more to come,

                                                          for now it's all about my tum.

                                                          The blob of custard in my skull

                                                          will gradually become less dull.

                                                          From then on I'll find more to do

                                                          than eat and sleep and coo and pooh.

                                                          But one day I'll look back and find

                                                          that life was best with a little mind.
