Just for Willow......
This is the poem complete with picture.....
We've Got a New Baby at Our House......
We've got a new baby at our house,
And nobody asks what I think.
She's called Marnie Eve.....
A girl, I believe..........
Her clothes are all frilly and pink.
We've got a new baby at our house,
She sleeps in my old bassinet.
She's wrinkled and pink.....
A girl......I think
I'm not sure if I like her yet.
We've got a new bay at our house,
And I've to be gentle and kind.
Not sad and glum......
Because she's pinched MY mum
And I've to pretend I don't mind.
We've got a new baby at our house,
Now girls outnumber the boys
I just hope she can fight
And sleep through the night......
And I hope she's brought her own toys.
We've got a new baby at our house,
And I can't do just as I like.
I've to be brave and good,
Like big brothers should.
At least I'VE got a new bike!
