Poem for a Four-Year-Old

KATIE La Mazie

by Granny B

Happy 4^th birthday my sweet little Kate.

When you are four

you’re never a bore.

You dance in a twirl

and take bows galore

You won’t eat your cheese

Or turnips or peas.

But you’ll eat lots of candy;

some more if it’s handy.

When it’s time for a snooze

You don’t want to loose

So you pout and you muse

It’s playtime you choose

                                    Then before you know it

Your eyes droop a bit

And you’re off to drift

With no place to sit

So you find a soft place

And a blanket with lace

A purple unicorn pillow

With a song in the middle

Then rub your eyes

And droop to the side

And you’re out like a light

With moonbeams in sight

For Katie La Mazie

Is bright as a daisy

Though when she gets lazy

She’s a little bit crazy

But when she is sleeping

Her parents are peeking

And kissing her cheeks

For their dreams are complete
