Poetry Friday: Crib Critters

From Dawn to Dreams: Poems for Busy Babies by Peggy Archer, illustrated by Hanako Wakiyama

Crib Critters

Out of the crib
Teddy drops,
Doggy plops,
Lion falls,
Monkey crawls,
Dolly flips,
Elephant slips,
Kitty flies--
I stop and cry,
wait,
and when
Daddy picks them up
and then
leaves the room--
Quietly
Silently
once again
Teddy drops . . .
