First came the bottle,
We’ve mastered that
Then finger foods,
That squish and splat
A straw was next,
We “sucked” at that
The bowl would fly,
And hit the mat
Now one more trick,
Left in our hat...
With empty Spoons,
Our two boys sat
They stared at us,
We stared right back
They drummed the tray
With a Rat-a-tat-tat
So far, so good,
Imagine that
Will the plan work?
Or go kerplat...
Stop stalling already,
No time for that
Let’s get the food,
Let’s get it stat
We’ll start real small,
See where we’re at
A tiny bite,
A paltry pat
What could possibly happen?
WHO said that?...
They each took turns,
Sort of tit-for-tat
They flung it this way,
And flung it that
But it seemed to me,
When the last pat went splat
The only one eating,
Was the cat
What can you do?,
We had to laugh...
With messy faces,
Our two boys sat
They stared at us,
We stared right back
So they don’t exactly,
Have it down pat
Just one more thing,
We’ll keep working at
And that, as they say,
Is that.
