/// Loving mother cannot help but coddle
her young child, who’s a natural model.
Handsome, poised and at ease,
calm and eager to please,
when he sits. (But he walks with a waddle.)
/// Made of linen from Mama’s trousseau,
the child’s diapers are ready although
he prefers being nude,
but his mother is shrewd.
Until needed, they’re Mama’s chapeau.
/// Some might carp that her headwear is crappy,
but such taunts do not make her unhappy.
It remained on her head
‘til some British mom said,
“Describing your pate, I’d say ‘nappy.’”
