NEW BABY
karie buss
I’ve acquired a new baby.
I’m filled with so much new love for the baby.
Her giant head bobbles so adorably
and her eyes bulge out of her face.
My baby slobbers and giggles at all the right moments.
I never knew before but I’m actually quite hilarious
when I puff up my cheeks and hide behind things.
She’s covered in pudge my new baby
and I love her so much
all the other babies are jealous
of all the attention she’s getting.
I’m filled with so much love for the baby.
I hug her continuously.
She slobbers at all the right moments.
I love the baby so much
I have to squeeze her out of love.
Her head bobbles so adorably.
I squeeze my new baby like a ketchup bottle
and her eyes bulge out of her face.
I love the new baby so much I squeeze her so hard
her eyes pop out
and plop on the floor.
You’d think they’d roll but eyes are soft. They only plop.
I love my baby so much.
My baby cries at all the right moments.
