Haikus for parents of infants
Baby on the floor
Lots of noise and rancid smell
Baby in the tub
Daddy wears a suit
Formula starts to bubble
Oh no! Time to change
Mommy needs a nap
Baby wants to play a game
Over and over
Put the baby down
Baby wants to be picked up
Lather rinse repeat
Bottle in the fridge
Bottle stuffed under the couch
Liquid becomes mush
Nap time once a day
Finite time to get stuff done
Mommy falls asleep
Diapers get dirty
A never ending cycle
Diapers elbow high
Food in baby’s mouth
Baby thinks the food tastes bad
Food in Daddy’s hair
Mom, Dad, baby love
Very little can compare
Everyone feels loved
