I
I have discovered
I have discovered laughter
and sitting, weeeeee!
and photo studios
and, hey, I AM!
I am KING OF BABIES!
I reign over the kingdom of smiles!
The bright eyes that fall upon me from above
are my treasure.
I have discovered SERVANTS!
Servants! Bring me tickles!
A hug would not be bad, either…
and Chocolate!
Ooooooooooo!
a messy king is a productive king…
Teach the KING more, for the KING must KNOW…
Take the KING places, for the KING must SEE…
The GREATEST KING OF BABIES WHO EVER LIVED will be thankful,
and he shall return a thousand-fold that which he has received…
The smiling baby you see?
Do not be fooled when I grow old and serious-
he will always be inside,
and for those who can reach him,
they will catch bright baby fire ever so briefly…
But all will not be DAY.
There will be NIGHT ahead-
for I must share the space in here with a MISERABLE baby when I’m older;
and when the miserable baby becomes jealous, he will attack me.
I, of course, cannot be anything other than happy,
so a SAD baby will be created, to carry the burden of tears...
Yes, complicated, I know-
happy baby, miserable baby, sad baby, all in one person…
but Hey, I AM KING!
I shall be complex if my subjects will it...
Right now?
I AM-
and I KNOW it!
See these fingers?
They are MINE!
I can MOVE them!
See?!
See these feet?
They are also MINE!
I can STOMP them!
See?!
I am stomping them!
I will share more discoveries with you,
as I discover them-
I'm sure you will be fascinated…
Right now,
admire the KING!
I am KING OF BABIES!
