I saw a man become a bumbling idiot
saying itchy kitchy coo to his new son,
tickling his tummy with one finger
and assuming the baby thinks it's fun.
Why do adults always act this way
they call it baby talk, it isn't new,
but if the baby tries to ask for something
mums and dads don't seem to have a clue.
After a few months this begins to change
you start to teach the baby words we know,
like mum and dad, and stop that bloody crying
and the serious stuff starts to show.
The parents begin to argue about
who changed the baby last,
and it must be your turn to feed him
but don't let him drink too fast.
But after all is said and done
he's still their pride and joy,
and mum and dad are very proud
of their bouncing baby boy.
