Babies

Baby puke
Reminds me of
Why I’m not ever prepared
To be an aunt

Kids will throw up on you
If you’re not careful

Yesterday
I was sitting there with my little nephew
And I almost got puked on
He had a bubble in his mouth
And he was feeling a little gassy

In Little Rock Arkansas
They give kids Coke straight
Well that’s what you do when the kid’s gassy

I just sat there and took the fact
That I was an aunt
Then I realized
“Oops, I better not”
I think I better escape home
While I’m an adult

    Love your poetry ABH–not very many of us are prepared for what we end up doing. Feels like life is an experiment, doesn’t it? Thanks for sharing.
