Insomnia
It’s midnight and the baby cries.
Lots of noise from a boy this size.
1 o’clock… and no one’s sleepin’.
Sweetie doesn’t stop his peepin’.
2 o’clock… there’s impressive whalin’.
Parents strong… resolve not failin’.
3 o’clock… infant’s still darn loud.
Mom, Dad and baby… a cozy crowd.
4 o’clock… the baby’s takin’ a rest.
A pause to refuel at Mommy’s breast.
5 o’clock… angel’s back to tricks…
Demanding another lactose fix.
6 o’clock… the sun’s startin’ to rise.
Fatigue can be seen in parent’s eyes.
7 o’clock… baby offers a yawn.
Time to snooze with early dawn.
Thus ends a long evening of fun.
Three weeks old… Lord, he’s just begun!
