A brand new reason for joy.
Now you've met the new baby boy.
Doting parents are equally glad
Recieving the blessing of a bouncing young lad.
Enjoy him now for he'll become a stranger
When he grows into his role of a "Teenager".
Author notes
A friend has just become a grandmother and this is for her. The baby's name should be clear!!

Nice work
I like this, it is so sweet, and compliments the picture well.
I have taken a shine to Acrostics, although I still need to brush up on my technique a bit.
Thank you for sharing this sweet little poem

Yes I taught High School (Secondary we call it) although I actually covered from 9 to 19!
With lots of nephews and neices the family is getting too extended
.
This was for somebody I met shopping on Ebay ! UK to America is an even greater extension. LOL

cute/true
Sounds like you taught high school. Hope you have extended family at least. Babs Dee -
Hi Anoushka,
Teaching in a school of 2000 teenagers you soon learn that they are a totally different species (2000 different species)
Thanks for the comment BTW

I am constantly delighted by peoples reactions to this little effort which was written in haste for a new grandmother to pass on to her daughter.
Thank you for your comments.

Adorable! This is wonderfully written and flows (and rhymes, of course) effortlessly.

Not bad for a grumpy old bachelor

I really enjoyed reading that! It is so touching to be me as a Mom. Lovely and so very true!

Thanks for reading and writing. Thanks also for the generous applause.
Flumymonkey is a bit awkward as I like even numbers for rhymes. 11 letters is a really awkward prime. If there were more of you then I suppose flumymonkeys might work.
Who knows maybe inspiration wil strike.

i love that i think it was pretty maybe you can do that to my name

Thanks Steve,
This Internet community is amazing. I buy audio books from Scotland through an agent in Canada. (She's the new Grandma) From her I find out about a new American baby so send a quick verse and post it here for fun. Since then I've had messages from 3 continents back to my little flat in the UK. All in a few days.
A Marvellous Medium.

A very clever write Jim, Acrostic, rhyme, and a little humor tossed in at the end. Overall a very pleasant little piece of writing. Congratulations to the new parents and grandparents. A job well done. Take care and Have fun. Steve
