Ireland Share Poem Baby's Awake Bump, bump, thump, thump Rhythmical and faint interrupted by the screech of chattering Magpies Tick, tock, tick, tock clock muffled by the heavy duvet pulled around my ears Sizzzzzzz wife's quiet breathing Rumble, clatter of distant cars early morning workers-beep beep Bump, bump, thump, thump tiny infant feet clearer more urgent If she could speak I suppose she would say Where are you Mummy? Daddy? Gaa, coo, gaa, goo-babytalk Movement audible. Cot creaks time to get up The rustle of warm bedclothes Bare feet on linen sheets replaced by bare feet on wooden floors The jingle, jangle, rattle of hot water surging through heating pipes and radiators Squeaky door hinge-needs oil Open door to a bright, smiling face Click light on Hey you! What's all that thumping about? You little rascal! Her bright eyes sparkle in rested contentment Time to get up little lady Click to purchase Print 132788 0 Other Author Poems I'm going to faint Forgotten Tingling Recent Site Documents What type of Valentine do you wish to have?
