A poem for my sick little bub

snore snore
rattle rattle
cough cough
whimper whimper
cough again
wake wake
cry cry
poor little sick baby
cuddle cuddle
nurse nurse
sniffle snuffle
trying to breathe
bite bite
(yelp yelp)
cry cry
soothe soothe
sniffle snuffle
wipe away
nurse some more
settle settle
falling asleep
snore snore
for a wee while more…

I wrote various drafts of this in my head at 2am, and 3am, and 4am, and 5am when I was up nursing. Poor little Bee, I hope you get better soon.

As a side note, when I showed this to Mr Banya this morning, he thought that my poem sucks. He reckoned he could write a better one in 5 seconds. Here’s what he came up with:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

I love you JJ

But I’m sick of all the poo

So – what do you think? Which one is better? Could you come up with something better?
